I ka makahiki 2019, he ʻano koʻikoʻi ka mana lanahu ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e helu ana no 23.5%, e hāʻawi ana i ka ʻenehana no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka mana biomass i hui pū ʻia. ʻO ka hana mana biomass wale nō ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o 1%, a ʻo kekahi 0.44% o ka ʻōpala a me ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana i ka mana kinoea i kekahi manawa i hoʻokomo ʻia i ka hana mana biomass.

I nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala iho nei, ua emi nui ka mana o ka lanahu US, mai 1.85 trillion kWh i 2010 a i 0.996 trillion kWh ma 2019. Ua hoʻemi ʻia ka mana hana lanahu ma kahi kokoke i ka hapalua, a ua hoʻonui ʻia ka hapa o ka nui o ka mana mai 44,8. . % Hoemi i ka 23.5%.

Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ʻAmelika i ka noiʻi a me nā papahana hōʻikeʻike no ka hana mana biomass-coupled i nā makahiki 1990. ʻO nā ʻano paila no ka hoʻoulu ʻana i hui pū ʻia, ʻo ia nā kapuahi grate, cyclone furnaces, tangential boilers, boilers kū'ē, fluidized beds a me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe. Ma hope iho, ma kahi o hoʻokahi hapaʻumi o ka ʻoi aku ma mua o 500 mau mea hoʻolahu ahi i hoʻokō i nā noi hana mana biomass-coupled, akā ʻo ka ratio ma loko o 10%. ʻAʻole hoʻomau a paʻa ka hana maoli o ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka biomass-coupled combustion.

ʻO ke kumu nui o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka mana biomass-coupled ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻaʻohe ʻano kulekele hoʻoikaika a maopopo. Hoʻopau pinepine ʻia nā wahie biomass kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa e like me nā ʻāpana lāʻau, nā kaula ala kaʻaahi, ka huʻa ʻike, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, a laila puhi i ka biomass. ʻAʻole waiwai ka wahie. Me ka hoʻomohala ikaika o ka hana mana biomass-coupled ma ʻEulopa, ua hoʻohuli pū nā mea hoʻolako pili o ke kaulahao ʻoihana biomass ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kā lākou mau mākeke i ʻEulopa.
