What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Allotrope Cellulosic Development Company is proposing a roughly $550 million biorefinery at a former sawmill site south of Anderson in Shasta County. The facility is designed to convert wood waste generated by forest management and fire-reduction projects into renewable fuels and bioplastics. The company expects most of the wood material to come from within 70 to 80 miles of the site.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project aims to utilize wood waste from a large timber region with significant fire risk. Shasta County was selected because of the existing demand for forest management programs in the surrounding area. The biorefinery would produce ethanol, renewable natural gas, and bioplastics.
