This project explores an important objective: “Economic Supply of Timber Residues as Bioenergy Feedstocks: A Market Analysis of Oregon’s Forest Biomass Sector.” As the state and the world move toward cleaner energy solutions, forest biomass has the potential to support both sustainability goals and rural economies. The project will focus specifically on timber residues, which are often underused yet could serve as valuable feedstock for bioenergy. The project will examine the availability of this material and the economic factors, such as market prices, production costs, policy incentives, etc, that influence its supply. To achieve this, advanced modeling techniques will be employed, which may include Simultaneous Equation Modeling (SEM) and Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR), among others, to examine the relationships between timber residues and other forest products, such as sawtimber and pulpwood. Furthermore, an analysis will be conducted to examine the responses of various landowners, including public, private, and industrial entities, to market signals across diverse regions of Oregon. A critical component of this study involves the analysis of empirical data, including harvest volumes, timber prices, transportation costs, and renewable energy requirements. The objective is to provide insights that can guide the formulation of more effective forest and energy policies in the future. This represents an exceptional opportunity for an undergraduate student to engage in significant, applied research. The student will be responsible for tasks such as reviewing pertinent literature, organizing and analyzing data, and communicating findings through visual aids or presentations. Throughout this process, the student will develop valuable skills in forest economics, market analysis, and sustainable resource management, while contributing to a project that addresses genuine sustainability challenges in Oregon. This project provides incredible mentorship, exciting skills development, and meaningful opportunities to address crucial sustainability challenges vital for Oregon’s future. It is an ideal fit for students passionate about forestry, energy, climate policy, or natural resource economics, offering valuable tools and experiences that can pave the way for success in graduate school, research careers, or jobs in the environmental field.
