       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.
