Universal Continuing Decision Process For: Prairie Lands Bio-Products *

 Belden, Bill     

 

Bill Belden, consulting manager for Prairie Lands Bio-Products, Inc., described feedstock development, logistic activities, test burns, construction, planning operations, environmental evaluations and permitting to co-fire switchgrass at Alliant Energy. The challenge is not in the operation but in the cost of handling and treating the grass. Innovative measures are being developed to bale and then further treat the grass.
