Thermochemical conversion projects, biomass

A geographical distribution of current biomass thermochemical conversion projects sponsored by the Biomass Energy Systems Branch is shown in Figure 5. 

The projected Fiscal Year 1980 Biomass Energy Systems Program budget for thermochemical conversion activities (direct combustion, direct liquefaction, gasification and indirect liquefaction) is approximately 17 million. 

The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the biomass thermochemical conversion activities of the Biomass Energy Systems Branch. Detailed papers on each of the projects mentioned in this overview were presented at the 3rd Annual Biomass Energy Systems Conference held in Golden, Colorado, June 4-7, 1979. Copies of the proceedings of this conference will be available from The National Technical Information Service (NTIS) as SERI/ TP-33-285, beginning approximately November 1, 1979...
