Woody biomass supply options can be broadly classified into two categories: opportunity and purpose-grown. Opportunity sources comprise non-commercial biomass residue obtained from a variety of natural and human-related causes, such as harvesting and mill residues, urban wood waste, fire, pest and disease-damaged fibre, and biomass from silviculture and forest management treatments. In contrast, purpose-grown woody biomass is cultivated using short-rotation woody crops like hybrid poplar, aspen, and willow to produce lignocellulosic fibre for use in the wood fibre and energy industries. High-yield afforestation and concentrated woody biomass plantations are essential components of purpose-grown woody biomass supply chains.
