These last three entities work together to help use local tree waste (biomass) to generate heat and electricity for a low-carbon energy solution for local customers. The team works with cities, counties, private landowners, and businesses who need help dealing with storm-damaged, diseased, infested and other compromised trees. This year, the team supported the effort of the minnesota pollution control agency ("mpca") to coordinate meetings of biomass stakeholders to better understand the value the company's services provide to them and the community. This work included, plant, and woodyard tours and participation in stakeholder workgroup meetings led by mpca. The company continues to manage a large quantity of wood for the metropolitan region due to the removal of trees harmed by the emerald ash borer.
