Title: Final Scientific and Technical Report State and Regional Biomass Partnerships

Abstract

The Northeast Regional Biomass Program successfully employed a three pronged approach to build the regional capacity, networks, and reliable information needed to advance biomass and bioenergy technologies and markets. The approach included support for state-based, multi-agency biomass working groups; direct technical assistance to states and private developers; and extensive networking and partnership-building activities to share objective information and best practices.

  • Charge transfer and charge transport in photoactivated systems are fundamental processes that underlie solar energy capture, solar energy conversion, and photoactivated catalysis, both organometallic and enzymatic. We developed methods, algorithms, and software tools needed for reliable treatment of the underlying physics for charge transfer and charge transport, an undertaking with broad applicability to the goals of the fundamental-interaction component of the Department of Energy Office of Basic Energy Sciences and the exascale initiative of the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research.

  • There is no universally accepted method of determining particle size distribution for shredded components of refuse. The values obtained for the selection function are highly dependent on the calculated value of the Broadbent-Callcott breakage function, B(xy). A comparison of predicted particle size distribution with actual data showed that most of the components had sigmoid curves, with glass being the only component with a curve similar in shape to the curve produced by the Broadbent-Calcott breakage function. The results reported in this paper suggest that the size reduction process for the materials tested in this study is best described by themore » diagonal matrix S rather than by a constant ..pi.. term, that the estimated values of s/sub 1/, s/sub 2/,..., s/sub n/ decrease with particle size indicating that particles become more resistant to fracture as they diminish in size, and that results obtained for actual municipal refuse are similar to those for the seven components of the refuse stream investigated in this study. 14 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.« less

  • An agreement was made between the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) at the University of Florida to consolidate biomass information and promote sharing of information. The goal was to compile existing information on biomass research and demonstration projects, facilities, and available Cooperative and Energy Extension Services biomass publications. IFAS identified biomass-related publications available from Cooperative and Energy Extension Services of the 13 southeastern states, active biomass research projects in the southeastern states, facilities available in the southeast for demonstration of biomass technologies, mechanisms for incorporating extension publications into SERBEP's Biomass Information Exchangemore » System (BIES), and contact persons for coordinating follow-up actions pertaining to information exchange. In concert with TVA, IFAS planned and conducted a biomass information consolidation and sharing workshop in Gainesville, Florida, March 14-15, 1985. These proceedings present a collected listing of project abstracts and summary statements.« less

    This report addresses the opportunities for utilizing southeastern woody biomass for energy by small non-forest products industries. Towards this goal, current wood fuel small industries were surveyed to find out characteristics of the current users, the available technologies employed for woody biomass energy systems employing direct combustion, and the factors which encouraged users to adopt these technologies. Various federal agencies and governments of states in the southeast were polled on their activities in promoting technology transfer in wood fuel systems.

  • The Council of Great Lakes Governors administered the Great Lakes Biomass State and Regional Partnership (GLBSRP) under contract with the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE). This Partnership grew out of the existing Regional Biomass Energy Program which the Council had administered since 1983. The GLBSRP includes the States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. The GLBSRP's overall goal is to facilitate the increased production and use of bioenergy and biobased products throughout the region. The GLBSRP has traditionally addressed its goals and objectives through a three-pronged approach: providing grants to the States; undertaking region-wide education, outreachmore » and technology transfer projects; and, providing in-house management, support and information dissemination. At the direction of US Department of Energy, the primary emphasis of the GLBSRP in recent years has been education and outreach. Therefore, most activities have centered on developing educational materials, hosting workshops and conferences, and providing technical assistance. This report summarizes a selection of activities that were accomplished under this cooperative agreement.« less
