Biofuel symposium offers energy alternatives

March 3, 2008

More than 100 people gathered at the Hamilton Fairgrounds Saturday morning to learn all aspects of the biofuel industry.

Focused on advocating the use of biomass from large-scale national forest thinning, the day was sponsored by the Big Sky Coalition.

Co-hosted by the Bitterroot National Forest and the Ravalli County Commissioners, the symposium offered a range of information regarding current and future biomass production and the potential of turning wood waste into ethanol and methanol for electricity and heat.
