A
"How-to" Primer for Biomass Resource Development
(EPRI TR-103439), 52 pp., Dec. 1993, $200 to nonmembers (EPRI).
Large-scale use of biomass feedstocks for producing
electricity will depend on establishing regional infrastructures
to plan, establish and manage integrated production systems. Such
development is currently constrained by uncertainties in crop
yields and costs and limited public and farmer awareness of the
regional and rural socioeconomic and environmental benefits that
would result.
Item #d94sep78
Strategies
for Achieving a Sustainable, Clean, and Cost-Effective Biomass
Resource, 1994 (EPRI). Also contact Jane Turnbull, Project
Manager, EPRI (415-855-2000).
A "white paper" that concludes that woody and
herbaceous biomass could supply up to 100,000 Mw of electricity
in the U.S. Discusses the markets and agricultural policies that
need to be developed. Calls on Congress to address this issue in
the 1995 Farm Bill.
