Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5360203

The management structure and program objectives for the Northeast Regional Biomass Program (NRBP) remain unchanged from previous years. The funding for the eighth year is $600,000. An additional $60,000 was provided by the Bonneville Power Administration Regional Biomass Program to continue the publication of articles in the Biologue. The Western Area Power Administration and the Council of Great Lakes Governors provided $20,000 each for funding the project Characterization of Emissions from Burning Woodwaste.'' A grant request has been submitted to DOE for the ninth year of operation in the amount of $775,000. This amount includes $22,000 from TVA for the aforementioned project. The Northeast Regional Biomass Steering Committee selected the following five projects for funding for the next fiscal year: (1) the wood waste utilization conference; performance evaluation of wood systems in commercial facilities; wood energy market utilization training; update of some previous publications; and wood chip energy decision-making guidebook. Work statements are being prepared and RFP will be issued where appropriate. CONEG also negotiated a contract with the National Wood Energy Association for publication of three issues of the Biologue magazine.
