IEA/EPRI Biomass Workshop

ACERC was pleased to host a joint biomass workshop with the International Energy Association and the Electric Power Research Institute the day before the ACERC Conference, on February 19, 2003. The workshop was held in the Heritage Center at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Representatives from several companies and countries presented their findings and developments in the biomass industry. Each presentation included a question and answer section to encourage discussion about biomass-related issues. This workshop was open to the public.

Electronic copies of the presentations are available at the IEA Energy Task 32 website at http://www.ieabioenergy-task32.com/meetings/task32_EPRI_meeting/utah.html.
