U.S. Department of Energy Biomass Program
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Biomass
Program develops technology for conversion of biomass (plant-derived material)
to valuable fuels, chemicals, materials and power, so as to reduce dependence on
foreign oil and foster growth of biorefineries. Biomass is one of our most important
energy resources. For additional information and contacts see
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/biomass/about.html.
Alaska
The Biomass Energy
Program is part of the Alaska Energy Authority. AEA works in cooperation
with 118 independent utilities and encompasses an enormous range of geographic and
economic diversity. Alaska biomass fuels include wood, sawmill wastes, fish byproducts,
and municipal waste. The state’s groundfish processors produce 8 million gallons
of fish oil per year, a potential feedstock for power generation. Currently, AEA
is working with the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Arctic Energy Technology Development
Laboratory and others to test fish oil blends in diesel generators common throughout
the state. The work builds on the success of state-assisted trials at UniSea Inc.’s
plant in Unalaska. The contact person is:

Idaho
The Idaho Bioenergy
Program is part of the Office of Energy Resources. Biomass has supplied
approximately nine percent of the total energy used in Idaho in recent years and
there is enough biomass waste (forest and logging residue, municipal solid waste,
agricultural residues, animal waste, agricultural processing residue) to supply
all the energy Idaho uses. The use of bioenergy can help reduce environmental problems,
improve local economies and reduce imports of other energy resources. The Idaho
Bioenergy Program's purpose is to help Idaho’s people and companies take advantage
of and make better use of their locally grown, renewable biomass energy resources.
It does this by providing technical assistance, offering educational workshops and
sharing costs for demonstration projects. The contact person is:

of Energy. The program promotes cost-effective use of locally available biomass
energy resources. Oregon program activities reflect the types of biomass resources
available in the state. The contact person is:

Washington
The Washington
Bioenergy Program is part of the Washington
State University (WSU) Extension Energy Program. Washington has
a multi-agency website called BioEnergy Washington. The Bioenergy
Program supports the development of biofuels, biopower and bioproducts, which offset
petroleum use. We assess sources of plant and animal bio-matter to determine how
much is available, how it can be converted to fuel, and at what price. Our alternative
fuels expert works closely with the biofuels industry and state and local governments
to promote the use and production of biodiesel and ethanol fuels in Washington State.
Please see our
flyer for more information.
The Energy Library maintains an
excellent collection of bioenergy reports, publications and periodicals. Key WSU
partners include the Climate Friendly
Farm Initiative (anaerobic digestion, biofuels and climate change mitigation)
of the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural
Resources; the Department of Biological Systems
Engineering (bioproducts and anaerobic digestion); and the
Agri-Environmental and Bioproducts Research Group (anaerobic digestion
and bioproducts). Contact persons are:
