Substituting coal through biomass

摘要

A power plant, owned and oper-ated by DTE Energy Services in Michigan, is now delivering power from biomass. The 40 MW plant located in Cass-ville, Wisconsin, was converted to wood waste as fuel instead of coal. So, renewable energy at the plant is produced through the burning of green wood residue from forest-ry and tree trimming operations, railroad ties, demolition waste and sawdust. A sec-ond project by Boldt Construction in Wis-consin and the British engineering firm AMEC is on its way.
