B -- PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND ALASKA REGIONAL BIOENERGY PROGRAM Sol DE-PS51-95R020563. Due 051095. Contact Point, Carol A Curtis, Contracting Officer, 206/553-2166. The US Department of Energy (DOE) established regional bioenergy programs to promote the development of effective uses of biomass for energy. The DOE anticipates awarding grants for projects that demonstrate bioenergy technologies which produce energy savings through the displacement of non-renewable sources, or that produce energy through the direct combustion of renewable resources. Projects will also be evaluated on their ability to minimize environmental impacts and their ability to improve the economic viability of a specific bioenergy industry or technology. Demonstration projects must be situated in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, or Montana. Applicants may be located outside this region provided the project is conducted within the region. All prospective applicants will be required to provide a minimum of an one-to-one financial match ration in their funding request. Acceptable demonstration technologies will use one or more of the following biomass fuels: landfill debris and landfill gas; logging residues; agricultural crops and wastes; biomass farming; urban, forest, and forest products wood wastes; municipal solid waste; animal wastes; and food processing wastes. Bioenergy projects may produce electricity, mechanical power, space heat, or industrial process heat.
