Happy Bioenergy Day! California biomass plants annually use more than 6.5 million tons of wood waste that would other wise be open burned, left in forested areas or fill our sanitation centers. #bioenergyday #biomass

Biomass generation is expected to expand to 20.7 billion kWh this year, up from 20.5 billion kWh in 2024. This uptick will hopefully make a dent in the growing wood waste crisis.

Industrial Transformation: Turning California’s aging biomass power plants from an environmental challenge to an asset in the energy transition
A regions-up, economic development-oriented approach to energy transition, using existing industrial infrastructure, rather than expanding into undeveloped areas of the state.

Biomass power generation offers the only significant end market for wood products. These facilities have not only provided economic opportunity for the state’s forested regions, but also a critical demand-driver for investments in wildfire fuel reduction.

Each year, California's biomass facilities receive more than 6.5 million tons of wood and agricultural waste. To put that into perspective, it would fill the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium over 25 times!

When biomass power facilities close, the fuel the facility had been using no longer has a place to go and will either be open-burned or will decompose and emit the more powerful methane gas. subscriber.politicopro.com/f/?id=000001...
