California's almond industry used to provide a plethora of shells to co-fire in biomass power generating plants in the state's Central and San Joaquin valleys. After burning the shells to generate electricity in such 25 MW to 50 MW plants, these independent producers sold their power to utility giants, such as Pacific Gas and Electric …
Proposed hydrogen production plants in CA process agricultural biomass, rather than wood. For instance, Clean Energy Systems plans to develop a facility producing hydrogen from 300 tons per day of orchard wastes near Kimberlina, CA (Clean Energy Systems, 2019). The primary barrier to growth of hydrogen from forest biomass is the …
The California Biomass Energy Alliance (CBEA) is an association representing the owners and operators of the 33 solid-fuel biomass power plants in California, distributed across 19 counties, utilizing forestry, agricultural, and urban wood waste sectors. This represents a combined generating capacity of 600 MW reliable, baseload, renewable ...
A modern biomass power plant requires 8,000 dry tonnage of biomass fuel per year to generate one megawatt of constant electricity production. This means that if the 248 million tons of accumulated biomass in California's overgrown forests were cleared out over a 20 year period, it would power 1.55 gigawatts of electricity generation for 20 years.
The California biomass industry reuses approximately 7.3 million tons of the state's solid wastes and residues annually, and produces around 532 MW of electricity. ... California's biomass power plants combust wood residues and byproducts to produce electricity — material whose disposal using conventional means creates adverse ...

Forest biomass is routinely categorized as California's largest biomass resource. For example, the California Biomass Consortium's (CBC) 2013 update gave a gross California forest biomass resource of 26.8 million bone dry tons per year (MBDT/year) (Williams et al., 2015). The CBC has provided estimates of both gross resource and …
