Wood Bioenergy US (WBUS) is a publication by Forisk Consulting that tracks, screens, and analyzes the wood bioenergy sector in the United States. The July/August/September 2012 issue includes a feature article that explores bioenergy project impacts on local stumpage prices. National wood bioenergy markets impact timberland investments and the forest products industry at the local level. The uncertainty of new project announcements requires project-by-project assessments and assumptions to estimate the potential impacts of bioenergy projects on stumpage prices in local markets. In this feature article, we explore two bioenergy-related variables as they affect stumpage price projections: project risk and feedstock volumes by type. The report contains regional analysis and updates of project changes and forecasts of wood demand by feedstock type. In addition, each issue tracks and analyzes project development over time. 

The July/August/September 2012 issue will be useful for investors, analysts, and executives interested in wood bioenergy markets in the United States, especially regional considerations for wood bioenergy investments.
