Gathering energy by the truck load is out there, just pick it up, it is free, all you need to do is pick it up and use it.
As of 2016, roughly 36.21% (about one-third of the U.S.) is forested.[2] Excluding the U.S. territories, forested land in the U.S. covers roughly 818,814,000 acres (3,313,622 square kilometers)
Using the above to calculate total biomass you multiply the area of all forests in the USA times the average dept in feet.
1 acre is approximately 208.71 feet × 208.71 feet (a square) = 43,559.86 feet
An acre covers an area of 43,449 square feet.
(43,449 X 818,814,000) X 1 = 3,5576,649,486 cubic feet of biomass.
After getting to this point in this topic I find myself stuck.
I need to calculate the energy output of one (1) cubic foot of biomass.
Anyone care to fill in the missing value-?
3,5576,649,486 cubic feet of biomass equal in BTU energy?
If we clean up the biomass in our forests, burn up this biomass, how much energy can we get from this-?

Can someone here fill in the last calculation
3,5576,649,486 cubic feet of biomass equals in BTU energy?
