Factsheets & Case Studies

BTEC Factsheets
Below is a sample of factsheets from BTEC and affiliated organizations on issues related to biomass thermal energy. As part of its educational outreach, BTEC has prepared a factsheet series on key issues in the biomass thermal energy industry. These factsheets were made possible through a grant from the USDA Forest Service’s Wood Education and Resource Center (WERC). This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

These factsheets were all produced by the Biomass Thermal Energy Council.
