USDA 2012 Hazardous Fuels Woody Biomass Utilization Grant - $3 million
Application Due: March 31, 2012
Eligible Entities: State and local governments, federally recognized
tribes, businesses, companies, corporations, school districts,
communities, non-profit organizations, and special purpose districts.
The U.S. Forest Service requests proposals for wood energy projects
that require engineering services. These projects will use woody
biomass, such as material removed from forest restoration activities,
wildfire hazardous fuel treatments, insect and disease mitigation,
and/or forest management due to catastrophic weather events. The woody
biomass shall be used in a bioenergy facility that uses commercially
proven technologies to produce thermal, electrical, or liquid/gaseous
bioenergy. The funds from grant program must be used to further the
planning of such facilities by funding the engineering services
necessary for final design and cost analysis.
