The Northeast Regional Biomass Program (NRBP) is one of five Regional Biomass Energy Programs established and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The Northeast region consists of eleven states including: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The NRBP is administered for DOE by the CONEG Policy Research Center, Inc.

The program's mission is to evaluate biomass technologies and fuels and to provide objective, reliable information to consumers and policy leaders. The NRBP carries out its mission through an extensive network of local, state, and national government organizations, and partnerships with private industry. Biomass in the context of this program is defined as renewable organic materials including: forestry and agricultural crops and residues; wood and food processing wastes; and municipal solid waste (MSW).
