Northeast Woody/Warm-Season Biomass
Consortium Webinar: Potential Economic Impact of Renewable Fuels and
Sustainable Biomass Feedstock in Pennsylvania, April 14, 1 p.m. ET.
There has
been much interest in using renewable fuels and sustainable biomass feedstock
for ethanol production. This webinar will highlight a recent analysis of the
potential economic impacts if sustainable biomass-based ethanol producing
plants were built in Pennsylvania. The study examined four potential locations
(Berks, Bradford, Crawford, and Washington counties) and three potential
cellulosic feedstocks, including miscanthus, switchgrass, and willow. The
analysis suggests that such a plant directly and indirectly could support
between 235 and 364 jobs and generate between $87.8 million to $120.7 million
in new output, depending upon its location and feedstock. Join us live to find
out much more! Presented by Timothy W. Kelsey, Penn State University.
