| by the Journal-Opinion Vermont Renewable Gas wants to build a $10 million, 2.2 MW biomass plant in the St. Johnsbury/Lyndon Industrial Park, reports the Caledonian-Record. “According to VRG manager Evan Dell’Olio, the proposed facility would convert low-grade wood chips into methane, fueling three on-site generators to create electric power.” The proposed facility would fill the void after the shutdown of the biomass plants in Bethlehem and Whitefield. Meanwhile, local planners will hold a public hearing tomorrow night on Ryegate Associates’ plans to manufacture wood pellets at its biomass plant in East Ryegate. |
