Financial Assistance for Energy Recovery from Industrial Waste: Wood, Paper, and Food Processing. Environmental Assessment

摘要

The Energy Security Act (PL 96-294) authorizes the DOE to provide various forms of financial assistance to alcohol fuels, biomass energy, and municipal-waste energy projects to reduce the dependence of the US on imported petroleum and natural gas. Types of financial assistance included are construction loans, construction-loan guarantees, price guarantees, and price-support loans. This Environmental Assessment investigates the potential environmental impacts related to financial assistance for certain industrial waste-to-energy processes. (ERA citation 06:000986)
