Yellow Wood partnered with the Biomass Energy Resource Center (BERC) to develop the Community Roadmap to Renewable Woody Biomass Energy: A step-by-step decision-making tool for NH communities through a contract with the North Country Resource Conservation and Development Area Council. This workbook is a civic decision-making tool to help New Hampshire communities through the information-gathering process required to decide whether woody biomass heating technologies applied to one or more buildings can help meet one or more community energy goals. This valuable tool was created so that communities will have the information they need, and a logical process to follow, to make informed decisions about the role biomass may play in their energy future.
