1	"Bioenergy:" Bioenergy: Status, Trends and Future of the South’s Forest and Agricultural Biomass August 30, 2005 Danny Day Eprida / UGA Bioconversion and Carbon Cycling Center Christoph Steiner, Eprida, Manus, Brazil Bob Evans, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO James Lee, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN Don Reicosky, USDA Soil Conservation, Morris, MN K.C. Das, University of Georgia, Athens, Ga Matthew Realf and Ling Zhang Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA
2	Who is Eprida? It is a for-profit social purpose enterprise with non-profit ownership focusing on developing solutions which are global in scope. It is a private research partner with UGA developing bio-refinery and greenhouse gas (GHG) reducing technologies. It offers non-exclusive licensing of its GHG reducing technologies to insure fair access. It provides consulting and pilot process testing to lower the financial risk of commercializing new biomass technologies. It is a innovation partner for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial businesses who are ready to create social value as well as successful enterprises.
