BERC Reports
BERC has the expertise and the network of consultants and information resources to produce reliable reports on a range of subjects—from issues involved with the development of biomass, to specific technology options, to preliminary assessment for specific potential projects. To learn in the very early stages if a possible biomass project makes sense technically, economically, and in terms of the necessary public and stakeholder support, BERC often recommends a pre-feasibility study as a highly cost-effective first option in gathering key information.
