Abstract: . . . cattle manure. The first project phase was a series of laboratory scale experiments. The results of Phase I were then applied to two experimental bioreactor cells, each approximately 3,200 cubic feet in volume. The final report is currently being peer reviewed. A final Texas project that has been supported for some time by the DOE, the EPA, and the WRBEP is the Cratech biomass gasification system. The current phase is the market introduction of a small-scale advanced biomass gasifier. Cratech expects . . . . . . biogas using low-moisture beef cattle manure.

The project will challenge students from a number of colleges and universities to change the design of existing snowmobiles to improve noise and emissions while maintaining performance. Funding to aid in the competition is provided directly by the OFD.

Other anticipated benefits from ethanol production include regional economic development and improved solid waste management. In the 14 state's vast interior, a lower tech approach to biomass utilization is being pursued by a number of communities with nearby-wood-fired district heating. The City of McGrath is . . . . . . September 2000 in Austin. A local steering committee will insure that the workshop reflects community needs and incorporates local speakers into the agenda. 31 Utah The Utah Office of Energy Services (UOES) is offering matching grants for projects promoting biomass development in their state. Partnerships with the University of Utah, Utah State University, Brigham Young University, and multiple industries have been undertaken. There are many programs at these institutions addressing problems and possible . . . . . . from a number of colleges and universities to change the design of existing snowmobiles to improve noise and emissions while maintaining performance.
