NARC&DC Biomass Factsheets

The National Association of RC&D Councils, with the assistance of the US Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resource Conservation Service, has created a series of factsheets to help RC&D Councils foster the use of appropriate scale biomass technologies in their communities. These factsheets cover a variety of topics, including an overview of biomass utilization, definitions of key terms, explanations of technologies, and examples of how communities benefit from biomass projects.
