This report summarizes the first three months of operation of the Great Lakes Regional Biomass Program. The program was initiated in September of 1983 with a $630,000 grant from the US Department of Energy. Overall the objectives of the program are to increase the production and utilization of biomass fuels in the Great Lakes states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin). The Grantee, the Council of Great Lakes Governors, Inc., is responsible for designing and implementing a program structure to meet the goals of the regional program. To reach those objectives, a 40-member Technical Advisory Committee was recruited to prioritize biomass needs, a seven-member Steering Council was appointed to provide program guidance and a Project Director was hired to operate the program on a day-to-day basis. Within the first three months of program operation: (1) The Council of Great Lakes Governors, Inc. hired a Project Director; (2) The Technical Advisory Committee met and recommended 15 priority subcontractor projects; (3) The Steering Council met and approved the State Grant Program RFP and seven subcontractor RFP's; and (4) The State Grant Program RFP was sent and a total of 353 subcontractor RFP packets were sent. No research was conducted during this quarter.
