Fibrowatt Selects North Carolina Site for Biomass-Fueled Plant
Posted on: Monday, 9 June 2008, 09:01 CDT
Fibrowatt, a poultry litter-based renewable energy generator, has selected a site offered by the Surry County near Elkin, in the US state of North Carolina, to build a new biomass-fueled power plant.
This plant is expected to provide poultry growers with an important alternative for the management of poultry litter in western North Carolina.
The Fibrowatt plant is expected to contribute at least $10 million annually to the local economy through fuel purchases and transportation, employee payroll and facility maintenance costs.
The plant is expected to produce up to 40MW of renewable energy without introducing new greenhouse gases into the environment.
