Fuels for Schools and Beyond

Woody Biomass Utilization Program

Our mission is to facilitate and promote the beneficial use of woody biomass "waste" created by forest management treatments, with a focus on developing markets for using forest biomass in energy generation for public facilities. Improved use of forest biomass has many benefits: it can improve air quality by reducing slash pile burning, lower land management costs, improve forest health and resilience, economically assist in protecting communities and watersheds from wildfire, provide low cost, locally sourced heating fuel, reduce fossil fuel consumption, and create rural jobs.

We are currently unable to offer Fuels for Schools construction grants.

However, Pre-feasibility Assessments are available to eligible facilities, and program staff is available to assist you in any way we can.
