The Biomass Power Association has changed its name to the American Biomass Energy Association. We also unveiled an updated version of our longtime logo featuring a leaf and a lightning bolt—images that we feel well convey that we are turning low-value wood and ag byproducts into renewable, reliable and responsible energy.  Although we have a new name and a new and improved logo, very little else is changing. ABEA still has its dedicated team, including Bob Cleaves, Markus Videnieks and myself. We continue to do everything we can to build awareness about U.S.-based biomass energy and the benefits our members bring to their communities and to the nation. The rebranding is the result of a project we undertook with a Washington, D.C.-based public relations firm, Seven Letter, to understand how Americans feel about biomass.
