<description><![CDATA[The debate over whether woody biomass from public lands should be included in the renewable energy standards in the American Clean Energy and Security Act continues. I am not even going to attempt to predict what the federal government will do. In the meantime, many officials from states and counties with an abundance of public forest lands are appealing to their congressmen to include public lands in the standard.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I don?t know if you?ve been following this story, but a company called Russell Biomass LLC is developing a biomass project in Russell, Mass., that has been causing quite a stir. 
The project is a $165 million, 50 megawatt wood-burning power plant that will be built on a site that once was home to Westfield River Paper Co., which has been closed since 1994.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The word green has become so popular lately that you can?t turn around without bumping into it. Seems everyone wants to live and work in green buildings and in green communities, drive green cars, use green products, throw green parties, host green conferences, lead the green industrial revolution and the list goes on and on. If you Google the word ?green? on the Internet you will get a barrage of sites touting green living tips and green products.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I don?t know if you?ve been paying attention to the legislation proposed by Reps. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Ed Markey, D-Mass., to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but if you haven?t you should. The bill basically sets up a carbon cap-and-trade system and is intending to cut greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent when compared with 2005 levels by 2020, 42 percent by 2030 and 83 percent by 2050.]]></description>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ethanolproducer.com/biologue/post.jsp?blogPostID=44</guid>
<description><![CDATA[It would be easy for the biomass industry to just ignore the issue of indirect land-use change and leave it to the ethanol and biodiesel industries and the corn and soybean growers to deal with, but that wouldn?t be prudent.
<br><br>The truth is indirect land-use change could impact all land users, including biomass. In fact it should impact everyone. I?m not saying that I?m in favor of using indirect land-use change to regulate greenhouse gas emissions for renewable fuels, but if the U.S. EPA is going to make that leap it must do the same for everyone. If they aren?t willing to do that then it should just be dropped.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wow, the last two weeks have been truly exhilarating from where I?m sitting as editor of Biomass Magazine. Last week we put on a successful biomass conference, and this week the Obama administration announced that the U.S. DOE will invest $786.5 million for the development of advanced biofuels and the construction of biofuel production facilities. This funding will be separated into four categories: the validation of integrated biorefinery technologies, construction of demonstration- and commercial-scale biorefineries, advanced biofuels research and ethanol research.]]></description>
