Environmental groups ask FirstEnergy for biomass details
Where will the wood come from?

R.E. Burger plant: Environmentalists in Ohio want to know where FirstEnergy intends to get enough wood to fire what will be one of the world's largest biomass power plants. So far the answers haven't been forthcoming. |
The 312 MegaWatt Burger plant in Belmont County is slated to finish conversion from coal to wood-pellet fuel by December 2012. The Ohio Environmental Council has successfully petitioned the PUCO to suspend FirstEnergy’s renewable energy credits until the utility reveals where the massive amount of wood-fuel will come from. Will Reisinger is a lawyer with the Ohio Environmental Council. He supports moving away from coal, but isn't convinced the wood millions of tons of fuel needed for the conversion will be sustainably harvested. Reisinger says he wants, "FirstEnergy to tell us more about the plant.”
FirstEnergy’s Mark Durbin says the Akron-based utility is complying with Ohio’s requirement that the plant convert to cleaner energy, but is not required to reveal details of contracts for the fuel. Durbin says sustainability is a key component of the Burger plant, but, “it’s a very competitive industry as far the fuel, so we’re not really talking about where it’s coming from."
Ohio requires that 25 percent of electricity come from renewable sources by 2025, half of that generated within the state. Utilities must be approved for renewable energy credits in order to meet the mandated requirements. |
