  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Oregon biofuels and biomass: potential project survey including regulatory barriers Author: Institute for Natural Resources, Northwest Environmental Business Council, Environmental Strategies, LLC, OSU Chemical Engineering Department The purpose of the study is to gauge the scope of bioenergy opportunities by identifying and profiling bioenergy projects and potential projects in Oregon, and learning directly from developers the key challenges and issues this nascent sector faces. Bioenergy projects are defined as projects that would produce biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) and electric power from biomass or biogas. To gauge the potential of the bioenergy sector in Oregon and determine prominent regulatory and technology issues, the study included: 1. Telephone interviews with informed individuals to learn of Oregon projects, and 2. An electronic survey with a smaller group of individuals to identify permitting or regulatory barriers to siting biofuel projects in Oregon, and identify possible roles for a university–based research center to assist in promoting Oregon’s biofuel economy.
