Berch The use of trade, firm, or corporation names in this publication is for the information and convenience of the reader. [...] Along with ecological and environmental issues, there are other barriers to expansion of forest biomass harvesting including operational feasibility, economic viability of extracting, transporting, and processing biomass at an affordable price, and the lack of developed technol- ogy and education in Canada related to energy production from biomass. [...] A very important issue in discussions around the harvesting of woody forest biomass in Canada is whether existing policies and guidelines are adequate to ensure that it is harvested and used in a manner that will benefit present and future generations. [...] The policy summaries for each province and territory begin with a brief description of the size of its forest industry and biomass resource, the land ownership breakdown, the status of the biomass harvesting industry in that jurisdiction, and the status of the province or territory in regards to development of a forest biomass harvesting policy. [...] The provinces and territories make the laws and regulations governing the use, management, and protection of the forest resource and have also developed the operational guidelines.
