The Contribution of Biomass to Emissions Mitigation under a Global Climate Policy

Primary funding for this research was through a sponsored research agreement with BP. The authors also acknowledge support in the basic development of the Economic Projection and Policy Analysis model from the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, which is funded by a consortium of industrial sponsors and Federal grants including core funding in support of basic research under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA-XA-83600001) and U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science (DE-FG02-94ER61937).
