The Northeast Regional Biomass Program (NRBP) was initiated in August 1983 with a grant to the Coalition of Northeastern Governors (CONEG), Policy Research Center, Inc. from the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Operations Office. The program is designed to promote the responsible use of biomass energy in the Northeast region which encompasses eleven states (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont). The Program conducted by NRBP has three basic features: (1) a state grant component that provides funds (with a 50 percent matching requirement) to each of the state agencies involved in biomass energy; (2) a series of technical reports and studies in areas that have been identified as being of critical importance to the development of biomass energy in the region; and, (3) a continuous long range planning component with heavy private sector involvement that helps to identify activities necessary to spur greater development and use of biomass energy in the Northeast.
