BERC Data Entry Form

Add an Entry

This database includes community-scale facilities that are larger than residential and smaller than industrial and that use solid biomass fuels for energy. This database includes systems that have been operating for at least one year and that are in the 0.5 to 15 MMBtu/hour (heat output) size range, but these can be larger in the case of campus or district energy systems. Examples of community-scale facilities are schools, campuses, hospitals, prisons, public buildings, community district energy, multi-family or senior housing, government buildings and complexes, commercial or office buildings, farms and greenhouses, and smaller industrial parks.

If you know of a community-scale biomass energy facility that meets these criteria and is not included in this database, BERC would like to know about it. To add an entry, please use the form below to provide as much information as possible and submit it. Once reviewed and accepted, your addition will automatically become part of BERC's community-scale database. In addition, all accepted entries will be shared with UT for inclusion in the US/Canada national database for all biomass facilities.

Items noted with a * are REQUIRED FIELDS AND MUST BE COMPLETED TO SUBMIT THIS FORM.

The following information is required in the event BERC needs to contact you regarding your submission to the database. This information will not become part of the public database and will not be shared with anyone outside of BERC.

This information will be made public in the database of community-scale biomass energy facilities.
