Happy Earth Day!

On this Earth Day there is an exciting new development in biomass. Lockheed Martin has opened its first biomass facility in Oregon:

The article describes the process this way:

“Operating much like a pellet stove in someone’s home, but on a much larger scale, the roughly 11,000-square-foot biomass plant uses sawdust, wood chips and bark primarily from Wagner Lumber in Owego, but also Gutchess Lumber in Cortland and other lumber mills, to generate steam used to heat, cool and provide supplemental electricity year-round at the approximately 1.6 million-square-foot Lockheed plant.”

When a major defense contractor is using biomass for electricity at one of its plants, you know that biomass is here to stay. That’s why I’m so excited that my company, Advanced Trailer, is partnering with the University of Idaho. Our trailers are a perfect fit for drying the wood chips that fuel biomass.

To find out more about biomass and how our trailers are helping make a difference, stay turned for a new ebook that I will release in a few days.
