Chapter XI: Project Development Handbook The Biomass Power Project Development Handbook contains a list of procedural and documentary steps in constructing the financial and legal structure necessary to a project. Appendices: Manuals, Resources, and References The first appendix is a software manual for using BioPET to compare different bio-power projects on an economic basis. Appendix B offers lists of organizations that are located or operating in Minnesota that may be able to assist you in developing a project. Appendices C and D detail many of our data assumptions and sources compiled in this study.
