What does this biomass tree calculator estimate?

It compares common biomass tree species using typical planning ranges for coppice density, harvest cycle length, and yield per acre, then estimates profitability per acre using your price and cost assumptions.

Are the outputs guaranteed?

No. Results are planning estimates. Local climate, soils, irrigation, genetics, spacing, pests, and harvest logistics can materially change yields and economics.

Acres (optional)

Used to show total annual-equivalent yield and total profit.

Biomass price ($ / dry ton)

Pellet / chip feedstock price varies by region and contract terms.

All-in annualized costs ($ / acre / year)

Includes establishment + maintenance + harvest, averaged per year.

Yield basis

Dry tons Green tons

Dry tons are oven-dry equivalent. Green tons include moisture; a common planning conversion is ~2 green tons ≈ 1 dry ton (varies by species and season).

Region preset (adjusts yield ranges)

This applies a simple multiplier to typical yields to reflect broad climate suitability.

Note: Outputs below are “typical ranges” for planning. Site, genetics, irrigation, spacing, and harvest system can move results significantly.

Eucalyptus

Fast-growth plantation hardwood used worldwide for biomass, pulp, and energy.

Overview

Eucalyptus plantations can deliver very high biomass yields in warm climates. Many species coppice well after harvest when managed correctly.

Coppicing density

6–20 shoots / stump

Optimal harvest cycle

3–7 years

Average yield

5–12 dry tons / acre / year

Estimated profit

$0 / acre / year

Based on your price & cost assumptions.
