The U.S. is related to biomass through its current energy capacity and production levels, as evidenced by the 15,000 MW of biomass capacity {fact:1, fact:2} and the 4.82 quads of biomass produced in 2019 {fact:3, fact:4}. Additionally, the U.S. is identified as a key region for the future deployment of BECCS technology utilizing biomass [1].

measurementTotal biomass production in the USA in 2019 was 4.82 quads.
claimThe highest potential for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) occurs in the Gulf, Southeast, Ohio Valley, and portions of the Midwest regions of the United States.
claimBioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) deployment at the scale of 1.81 quads represents a nontrivial but likely manageable increase in biomass production relative to the 2019 USA total of 4.82 quads.
