OSTI ID:5914416

This directory is divided into four separate sections to cover various aspects related to biomass energy use in the Great Lakes region. These sections are: (1) biomass energy conversion processes; (2) state-level biomass energy initiative; (3) biomass energy facilities; and (4) biomass energy research. The biomass energy conversion processes section provides a brief description of alcohol production, wood combustion and methane production processes. The section on state biomass energy initiatives describes the types of biomass energy use within each state in the Great Lakes region and also outlines state programs promoting biomass energy use. These programs may be state energy office activities or incentive subsidies being provided by legislative mandate. Additionally, a brief overview of important state biomass research is presented. The third section of the directory provides a list of installed biomass facilities in the Great Lakes region. The objective of this section is to provide detailed information on specific biomass facilities in the region along with contacts so that interested parties could locate facilities similar to their own and make contacts with those firms or institutions to obtain additional information. The last section of the directory outlines various biomass energy research projects being conducted at universities in the Great Lakes region. Each research activity is listed by state, university and principal investigator. A brief statement summarizing the research is also included.
