State demonstration program in wood energy. Volume IV. Technology transfer. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5099936
The purpose of this project is to stimulate the incorporation of wood energy in previously unutilized areas. The first year results of the task, Technology Transfer, are reported in this volume. Four seminars on wood energy were held: Wood as an Industrial Fuel; Safe and Clean Wood Energy; Wood Energy Economics; and Wood-fueled Processes and Equipment. A total of 270 participants representing 105 companies or agencies attended the seminar. Nonforest-related industry, forest-related industry, consulting firms, equipment manufacturers, and government agencies were represented. A proceedings was compiled for each seminar. In addition, Wood: An Alternate Energy Resource was published as an overview to wood energy. Over 2700 copies were distributed throughout the United States. Texts of each are included in this report. Two audiovisuals were produced. Wood: An Alternate Energy Resource is a 12-minute slide/tape presentation that supplements the overview publication. Audiovisual scripts are included in this report. Fuel Switching: Is Wood a Good Idea. is more technical in nature covering wood fuel properties and equipment systems. Plant managers who plan to convert to wood energy can use this program to acquaint their personnel with the special considerations needed in wood fuel systems.
