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.
