Biomass gasification will put Evergreen and its design and construction partners at the forefront of alternative energy production systems in the NW. That is why Evergreen is asking the state to join Evergreen students and the College to fund a pre-design for a Biomass Gasification Project to facilitate detailed planning for the design & construction phases of the project.

As part of the effort to encourage the state to fund projects and policies that address this rising technology -biomass- The Evergreen State College testified in support of Senate Bill 6236 this afternoon before the Senate Natural Resources, Ocean & Recreation Committee. Senate Bill 6236 would allow the Washington Department of Natural Resources to enter into forest biomass supply agreements. Evergreen encouraged the Committee to pass the bill which would provide the Department with the tools and research necessary to be a viable partner in the area of biomass.
