California Biomass Energy Alliance

CBEA, CalForests, Sierra?Pacific Industries and Pioneer Energy?recently hosted legislators and legislative staff for a tour to educate and raise awareness about the benefits of biomass in providing clean and reliable energy to the grid.

CBEA thanks Assemblymember Irwin for supporting the biomass energy, which "provide clean, firm power that counts towards the utilities' resource adequacy requirements." https://lnkd.in/gRwRwGvD

CBEA thanks Senator Niello for supporting the biomass energy, which?"provide more jobs and a higher percentage of permanent good-paying?jobs than intermittent renewables." https://lnkd.in/gRwRwGvD

CBEA thanks Senator Hurtado for pushing the CPUC to extend the BioMAT program and?to ensure that 250 MW of biomass energy are procured. https://lnkd.in/gRwRwGvD

CBEA thanks Assemblyman Damon Connolly for supporting the biomass energy, which "reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants" and "provide carbon negative emissions." https://lnkd.in/gRwRwGvD

CBEA thanks Senator Megan Dahle for supporting the biomass energy, which help "mitigate the risks and costs of wildfires." https://lnkd.in/gRwRwGvD

CBEA thanks Assemblymember Aguiar-Curry for supporting the biomass energy, which supports "California's policies to reduce wildfires, increase energy reliability, cut methane emissions and air pollution and create food jobs." https://lnkd.in/gRwRwGvD

Matt Dias from @calforests argued that California does not have enough biomass facilities and we need more to remove hazardous fuels in the forests. CBEA agrees that a robust?biomass energy is a valuable ?tool?in forest management and renewable energy. https://lnkd.in/gHbtNVYe

CBEA applauds the Governor Newsom's call for a state of emergency to expedite forest management projects in order to protect lives. CBEA is prepared to work with the state on removal of that wood waste and converting some of it to renewable energy. https://lnkd.in/g5sm_gw2

If all power plants in the US operated at full power capacity, 30% of the energy would come from renewables. That number is expected to climb to 37% by 2037, which shows how quickly renewables are proving to be viable in the marketplace. Biomass is proud to be part of that solution. https://lnkd.in/ebP2bGZe
