Worthless Scam
This appears to be a scam.Hopefully no one else buys this. Most of this document is cover and intro (6 pages) and advertising for their Plunkett Services and disclaimers (6 pages). The actual text is 5 1/2 pages and 2 pages of tables of DOE US data.Save you money and go to the DOE EIA website for statistics on US energy consumption.

It's free and has better information.

Description:
In this study the economic feasibility of using alternative fuels in a mass burn boiler for a chemical plant in northeastern Missouri is analyzed. The key consideration is whether biomass (switchgrass and crop residues) is economically preferred to other available fuels. Research reveals an abundance of alternative fuels for which the plant would receive a tipping fee, including municipal solid waste and used tires. Since the plant would have to pay for biomass, it does not appear in the optimal solution. An economic optimization model shows the marginal cost to the plant of using biomass would increase as more biomass is used, displacing quantities of more valuable (in terms of tipping fees per BTU) waste materials. ...
