largest shares. Facilities using direct fire of wood were located based upon availability of woodresidues after co-fire use (Figure 13). Direct fire facilities using wood are projected to be locatedin the Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee BEA’s.11.6%40.3%36.4%45.5%48.1%Orlando Panama City PensacolaFigure 12.

Dedicated energy crop production byAgricultural Supply District (ASD) was estimated as part of the 25x’25 analysis. Dedicated energycrop production was shared to county according to crop production patterns (corn, cotton,peanuts, and hay). As shown in Figure 14, direct fire from energy crops is projected to occur inthe Gainesville, Orlando, Panama City, and Pensacola BEA’s. Locations of facilities for direct fireof citrus waste are based upon areas where sufficient citrus waste production could occur. Citrusproduction was measured by boxes of citrus were used to weight the waste production by county.Data were from the Florida Agricultural Statistics Service.
