Excerpt
Excerpt: Most woody biomass utilization activities are implemented by the Departments of Agriculture (USDA), Energy (DOE), and the Interior and include awarding grants to businesses, schools, Indian tribes, and others; conducting research; and providing education. Most of USDA?s woody biomass utilization activities are undertaken by the Forest Service and include grants for woody biomass utilization, research into the use of woody biomass in wood products, and education on potential uses for woody biomass. DOE?s woody biomass activities focus on research into using the material for renewable energy, while Interior?s efforts consist primarily of education and outreach. Other agencies also provide technical assistance or fund research activities.
