Faced with increasing pressure to reduce emissions, the Rio Tinto Alcan Lynemouth Aluminum Smelter, located in Northeast England's village of Lynemouth, is considering a switch from coal power to biomass at its on-site 420-megawatt power station.
Over the 20-year term of its proposed biomass combined-heat-and-power plant, Clark County, Wash., will receive a total benefit of more than $11 million and be capable of extending the life of its existing equipment, according to Clark County.
The Appeal Court of North Carolina has unanimously turned down an appeal against a decision by the North Carolina Utilities Commission to allow the inclusion of wood chips derived from low-value whole trees in the state's renewable energy definition.
Kiara Solar LLC, a California-based power generation company, plans to restart a dormant biomass power plant in Anderson, Calif. The plant was purchased from Siskiyou Forest Products, a wood processing company in Anderson.
A lawsuit filed recently by a number of conservation groups challenges the U.S. EPA's three-year deferral of biogenic emissions under the Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule. The agency has said it will use that time to further study the issue.
A 56-megawatt biomass power plant slated for operation in October 2012 will be Georgia's largest, located on an industrial site in southeast Laurens County near Dublin.
Forest Concepts LLC developed two baling systems scientifically engineered for woody and tall grass biomass. The balers were designed to solve the problem of using agricultural balers for biomass purposes.
A life-cycle assessment comparing biomass power to coal power shows biomass emits just 4 percent of the carbon dioxide coal power emits. The report also found that sustainably managed forests are better than carbon neutral.
Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack visited a waste-to-energy bioprocessing facility under construction in Florida on Aug. 11 to announce that the USDA and U.S. DOE have awarded 10 grants totaling $12.2 million to spur research into biofuel and bioenergy crops.
BC Hydro, British Columbia, Canada's largest electric utility, has selected four biomass projects as part of its self-prescribed clean energy initiative called the Bioenergy Call to Power.
The 'Community Roadmap to Renewable Woody Biomass Energy: A Step-by-Step Decision-Making Tool for New Hampshire Communities' was developed to help communities determine whether woody biomass technology makes sense at a facility or district level.
An Alberta, Canada, power plant slated for operation in 2013 will use AD to create 3 megawatts of power for sale to the grid, but will also use a unique technology to denature infectious proteins in its raw meat processing byproduct feedstock.
A follow-up report to the Billion-Ton Study has found consistency with the original in terms of magnitude of resource potential under the same assumptions. But the follow up finds differences in specific feedstock availability.
Working on a new project site in Green Bay, Wis., Oneida Seven Generations Corp. is still experiencing small local opposition similar to what it encountered at its first proposed site in Ashwaubenon, Wis.
Taylor Biomass Energy was not only recognized as environmentally sustainable, but it also satisfied Greenopia's rigorous rating system to receive that distinction.
Washington's Clark County has hit a road bump in its plan to build a biomass district combined-heat-and-power plant in downtown Vancouver. The city has declared that the site zoning prohibits such facilities, but the county is undeterred.
Pfizer started a green journey initiative to commit itself to a more sustainable future. In July, Pfizer unveiled a biomass boiler at its Sanford, N.C., site, taking the company to the next level in reducing its environmental impact.
The coupling of biomass technologies with carbon capture and storage yields negative carbon dioxide emissions and the global potential is enormous, according to a study recently released by Ecofys and IEA Greenhouse Gas.
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in California has taken the Kings Beach site for Placer County's proposed 2 megawatt biomass combined-heat-and-power plant off the table, but the county will push on, looking at new sites.
Cargill Inc. is planning a 1.4-megawatt waste-to-energy plant at its High River, Alberta, beef processing facility. The plant will run on organic waste from the facility and will complement its methane gas capture and power generation system.
