The town of Fort Frances, Ontario, has received $92,500 in funding from the Province’s Forest Biomass Program to support the first phase of development of a biomass-to-energy facility that will be located in the community.
As biochar production scales up, maintenance is becoming less about fixing what breaks and more about designing plants, feedstocks and operating practices to withstand thousands of continuous production hours.
Instrumented farm-scale flat-die pellet production, experimental data and machine learning are being combined to make biomass pelleting more predictable across changing feedstocks and operating conditions.
The Placer County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 20 voted to authorize the director of public works to execute loan agreements with Sierra Nevada Biochar LLC for the proposed Cabin Creek Biomass Facility.
