The University of North Dakota (UND) Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) proposes to use Department of Energy (DOE) funding to demonstrate the feasibility of converting biomass into alternative forms of energy. UND proposes to use DOE funds for: Activity 1) smale-scale biomass conversion; Activity 2) pilot-scale conversion of biomass to fuels; Activity 3) project management, educational activities, outreach, and strategic studies; Activity 4) fuels of the future research and development laboratory. This National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) determination applies to Activities 1, 3, and 4 only. There is insufficient information available to complete the NEPA review for Activity 2 at this time.
