Environmental Benefits
Biomass power generated from locally sourced organic materials make significant contributions to the environment. Every kilowatt of power they produce replaces one made from coal or natural gas, which helps reduce greenhouse gases, acid rain and mercury emissions associated with fossil fuel power.
Biomass power is the ultimate example of "reduce, reuse, recycle," extracting the last bit of value – energy – from the region's wood and agricultural resources, from forest and farm to landfill, cradle to grave. In doing so, we keep these materials off the landscape and mitigate their impact on the environment.
