In order to introduce and encourage private sector use of the vast renewable resource in the Great Lakes region, the Great Lakes Regional Biomass Energy Program has produced this directory of biomass energy systems. The directory, which was compiled with the assistance of the state biomass energy agencies in the region, documents the many firms and institutions utilizing biofuels. It is hoped that the detailed information on each facility will be useful to persons and organizations considering investments in bioenergy systems. The directory is divided into five sections covering the most common biofuel systems found in the region: (1) alcohol production, (2) crop residue combustion, (3) methane production, (4) waste-to-energy, and (5) wood combustion. In each section the facilities are grouped by state. The state subsections are presented alphabetically, and within each state the facilities are listed in alphabetical order by organizational name. Independent School Districts (ISD) in Minnesota are arranged alphabetically by the name of the town in which they are located. Preceding each state subsection, there is a map showing the distribution within the state of that type of biomass facility. 12 refs.
