Success StoryThe Kentucky Wood Industry Directory Biomass Survey
The Kentucky Wood Industry Directory Biomass Survey
Author: Bobby Ammerman
Planning Unit: Forestry
Major Program: Forestry Industry Education
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
General maintenance and keeping directory updated. Was awarded a grant for nearly $25,000 from the Kentucky State Wide Energy Team for the purpose of updating the directory and surveying the industry to determine how much biomass is being generated by our secondary wood industry in the state and how the biomass/waste is being used/disposed.
To date update forms have been mailed to all secondary industries listed in the directory asking them to return the updated forms. We have also used the grant money to hire two forestry students for the spring semester and early summer to directly contact all of the industries that do not respond to the mailings. We are currently in the process of finalizing the report.
