The Great Lakes Regional Biomass Energy Program is one of five Regional
Biomass Energy Programs established and funded by the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE).  The GLRBEP is managed by the Council of Great Lakes
Governors.  Seven states participate in the GLRBEP including Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.  The goal of the
GLRBEP is to increase the production and use of biomass energy resources for
economic development and environmental sustainability.  Biomass consists of
renewable organic materials and includes forestry and agricultural crops and
residues; wood and food processing wastes; and municipal solid waste (MSW).
