This report covers activities under the Great Lakes Regional Biomass Energy Program for the period December 1, 1984 through February 28, 1985. The program is intended to provide resources to public and private organizations in the Great Lakes region (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin) to increase the utilization and production of biomass fuels. During this quarter, the contract with the Fiber Fuels Institute to develop fuel specifications was closed-out. The project is the first step in providing biomass fuel users with comprehensive data on solid biomass fuels. Four publications were also released this quarter: (1) Directory of Great Lakes Regional Biomass Energy Facilities; (2) Wood Heating; (3) Directory of Biomass Combustion Systems 250,000 to 10,000,000 Btu/h Output; and (4) Residential Wood Combustion Emissions and Safety Guidebook. A meeting of the program Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was held in Chicago to discuss issues and barriers to biomass energy development in the Great Lakes region. The TAC was divided into eight working groups to focus on various biomass feedstocks and conversion processes. The results of the meeting will be presented to the Steering Council during the next quarter as part of the long-range planning process.
