This is the first quarterly report of the seventh year of operation of the Great Lakes Regional Biomass Energy Program. The program was initiated in 1983 with a grant to the Council of Great Lakes Governors from the Biofuels and Municipal Waste Technology Division of the US Department of Energy. Stressing near-term biomass feedstock production techniques and conversion processes, the objective of the program is to increase the use of biomass energy by the public and private sectors in the seven state Great Lakes region. States that are in the Great Lakes region include: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. The Great Lakes Regional Biomass Energy Program is divided into three separate operational programs. The first is the State Grant program, which provides resources to the seven state energy offices in the region to increase their capabilities in biomass energy. State specific activities and interagency programs are emphasized in the State Grant Program. The second, the Subcontractor program, involves the letting of subcontracts to private organizations to address regional biomass issues and needs. The third is the In-House Technology Transfer program in which Council staff develop biomass energy publications and reports. Due to reduced funding levels, this year's program contains no new subcontractor projects. Several projects initiated with prior year's funding will be completed this year.
