DOER Requests Information and Comments on a Proposed Scope of Work Pertaining to Biomass Energy and Sustainable Forest Management, Carbon Sequestration, and Carbon Neutrality
Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles has directed the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) to develop a sustainability requirement for electricity generated from biomass (woody crops and forest products) under the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). To that end, DOER has posted a Request for Information (RFI) asking for public comment on a proposed study of issues including Sustainable Forest Management, Carbon Sequestration, and Carbon Neutrality associated with biomass energy.
Responses to the RFI are due on July 3, 2009. The RFI can be accessed either by:
