 California North Coast Agencies Wonder What to Do with All the Wood Waste
As California attempts to reduce woodland fuels for wildfires, a parallel effort has been emerging to keep that woody waste out of landfills and help with the state's need for always-on renewable energy. The Marin Resource Conservation District was recently awarded $500,000 for one of five pilot studies statewide on local biomass. The Marin Sanitary Service currently takes in 25,000 tons a year of woody material. Napa Recycling & Waste Services, part of the same ownership as Marin Sanitary, will soon release a request for proposals for a biomass gasification plant. A joint project with the city of Napa, the estimated $20 million project would generate synthetic hydrogen that could be used to generate electricity and biochar, a charcoal-like substance that has multiple industrial and agricultural uses.
