Waste to Wealth - Biomass Utilization info

Waste to Wealth - Biomass Utilization info
Thanks to all who participated in the Waste to Wealth Biomass Utilization Workshop.  Participants learned about alternatives to land-filling or burning biomass (slash, ag waste, food waste, etc.), some new technologies for producing products from biomass (specifically bio-char), and possible funding sources to encourage business expansion/diversification and marketing.  

People from a broad spectrum of businesses attended, including farmers, tree service, forest products industry, county landfills,  parks and recreation and others. A free flowing discussion of possible next steps occurred during the meeting.  

There was some interest in forming a collaborative that could work with the National Forest to improve access to forest biomass and possible ideas for cooperative businesses.   If you are interested in participating in a collaborative, please contact Pam Herdrich at 208-624-3200, or [email protected]

 For those of you who were unable to attend, we've posted a few of the presentations  below:
