Central Oregon Biomass Team

The Biomass Energy Cluster Development Project

Project Goals

The goal of the Cluster Development project is to improve the market-based utilization of woody biomass material in Central Oregon from federal and other land ownerships by

A) developing a regional strategic plan that establishes baseline conditions and barriers to market development and a series of implementation strategies to overcome the barriers;

B) supporting project development and implementation strategies; and

C) working with statewide partners to share best practices, bring in outside technical assistance as necessary, and promote Central Oregon as a biomass utilization hub.
