Biomass technology allows crops such as corn stover and other fibrous plants to be used as fuel sources. These
biomass sources do not produce greenhouse gases and emit fewer
pollutants than traditional fuel sources such as coal, oil and wood.
Learning to “gasify” these sources is a key technology that requires additional research. WCROC is a research partner in the biomass gasification demonstration and research facility at the adjacent University of Minnesota, Morris campus.
More information about biomass-related research at the WCROC can be found on the
biomass section of the Renewable Energy
Initiatives website. |
