BioMass Task Force to Share Potential Sites

Posted: Oct. 20, 2014 1:46 PM PDT

The Nevada County Biomass Task Force has been doing feasibility work on the potential for locating a Biomass Energy Facility in Western Nevada County. A bio-energy facility would use the highly flammable forest undergrowth and chipped forest debris to produce electricity. Task Force member, Steve Eubanks, says on Wednesday November 22 the Task Force is going to share preliminary results of a study that is being completed by an external consulting firm.
