Yield (i.e., tons of biomass per acre per year) is a key driver of production potential for many biomass resources. For agricultural resources, crop- and county-specific yields are an input to the economic modeling used to assess biomass production capacity in the BT23. Yields for agricultural biomass resources were derived from field trials from the Sun Grant Initiative Regional Feedstock Partnership, which served the basis for calibration of county yields (see 2016 Billion-Ton Report section 4.2.4)

This dataset provides additional variables for modelers and other interested stakeholders for yield assumptions for modeled energy crops on agricultural land in the CONUS, as modeled by the POLYSYS model.
The yield unit was changed from lb/ac to dt/ac post-processing.
V0.1 changes include: tillage for subclass like 'energy crop' is now '[null]' and for subclass = 'Intermediate oilseeds' 'till' is now 'CT' (Conventional Tillage), format now uses pipe (|) delimiter.
The goal of this repository is to promote transparency and ease-of-access to the U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) supported public studies involving techno-economic analysis (TEA). As such, this database summarizes theĀ economic and technical parameters associated with the modeled biorefinery processes for the production of biofuels and bioproducts, as presented in a range of published reports and papers.
