The entire harvest, processing and transport system is capable of producing different biomass forms and sizes for a variety of biorefining customers. The project could produce new biomass logistics technologies ready for market, as well as a database of productivity and cost information for producing biomass from Southern pine plantations. Implementation of these systems could provide new jobs in the logging and equipment manufacturing industries while helping meet U.S. goals for biofuel production and energy security.<\/p>\n<div id=\"flickrContainer\"> <div class='flickr-mini-gallery ' lang=_s& rel=\"photoset_id=72157631953097746&amp;sortby=date-posted-asc&amp;per_page=50&extras=,description\" longdesc='photoset'> <\/div> <!--This is a test--> <div id=\"flickrFooter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/eng.auburn.edu\/images\/flickr.png\" alt=\"Flickr\" align=\"left\" style=\"padding-left:5px;
