This report contains the results from the first year of a multi-year study on wood energy. The purpose of this project is to stimulate the rapid incorporation of wood energy in previously unutilized areas by addressing the barriers which block its use. Traditionally wood energy has seen extensive application in industries that deal in forest products; however, nonforest industries having little or no expertise in procuring, transporting, handling, or use of wood have tended to use other energy sources even when economics urged otherwise. Thus, the education of potential wood users as to available supply, the potential economic advantages, and the means of utilization form the basis of achieving the overall goal. During the first year, the project emphasis was to develop a definitive base of pertinent knowledge and apply the information gathered to nonforest related industries. To accomplish the objective, four tasks were outlined: economic feasibility studies, demonstration projects, technology transfer, and wood fuels processing.
