PA Bioenergy Working Group
About Us:
The Biomass Working Group is a collection of businesses, universities, government agencies, foresters, economic development partners and environmental advocacy groups working together to help residents of PA and the Northeast learn how renewable fuels can reduce costs and build community self-reliance in an environmentally sound way.
Our vision is to establish Pennsylvania as a national leader in the development of sustainable biomass feedstocks and conversion technologies to produce energy, biofuels, and bioproducts. This will contribute to the creation and growth of a new bioindustry, which is vital to the economic, social, and environmental success of Pennsylvania.
