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:

Washington
The Washington Bioenergy Program is part of the Washington State University (WSU) 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).
