Biomass Current biomass resource data at NREL contain partial information on municipal solid waste, specific crop residues in eastern states, and timber residues. During the biomass technology meeting, a different approach to rating a resource area was discussed. In that approach, sites are assessed for long-term sustainability to support biomass plants. Given the limited time available to complete this analysis, the monthly Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) computed from National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Land Pathfinder satellite program was chosen as a basis for the initial biomass resource assessment. The NDVI satellite data have a resolution of 8 km by 8 km. Appendix B further describes sources of biomass GIS data. Geothermal Southern Methodist University (SMU) produced a national geothermal resource assessment in February 2002. The assessment shows general areas suitable for possible geothermal development assessment; specific areas need to be identified by local-area studies. GIS data also exist on known geothermal resource areas (KGRAs) and on geothermal leases. For a description of the data and method used to identify high-potential geothermal sites, see Task 2 below. BLM-Specific and Other Data BLM’s NSTC staff provided detailed land ownership data to NREL. BLM staff also supplied information on areas that should be excluded from development (wilderness areas, wilderness study areas1, national monuments, and national conservation areas) on BLM lands and planning unit boundaries. Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) were not included in the BLM GIS land ownership data. However, ACEC are BLM lands excluded from development and will be addressed at Field Office level as required in processing renewable power development applications. Other data used in the analysis included topographical data and data on transmission lines, major roads, and populated areas. For more information on data sources, see Appendix B. TASK 2—Develop appropriate screens. BLM and NREL staff held meetings on CSP, PV, wind, and biomass to develop screening criteria for GIS analysis and characterization of the potential for renewable power production. The objective of each screening criteria development meeting was to identify any criteria that impact the economic and technical feasibility of renewable power production. The list of criteria was then evaluated for its ability to be used in GIS mapping, and GIS data availability and sources were discussed. Finally, the top three to six most significant criteria in targeting high-potential renewable power opportunities were selected for Task 3 (for CSP, PV, wind, and biomass). High-potential geothermal sites were identified by field visits to selected BLM state offices. Knowledgeable personnel in BLM state offices were consulted during field visits to Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, California, Utah, and Washington. The high-potential geothermal sites were identified without 1 Wilderness Study Areas are not closed to development, subject to valid existing rights. 6
