Sustainable agricultural residue removal for bioenergy: A spatially comprehensive US national assessment

► We perform an assessment of US agricultural residue availability for bioenergy. ► The assessment considers multiple sustainability factors using an integrated model. ► The study is spatially comprehensive for the US at an analysis scale of 10-100 m. ► More than 150 million metric tons of residue were sustainably available in 2011. ► More than 207 million metric tons of available residue are projected in 2030.
