This is an informal information sharing mechanism designed to facilitate the development of markets.  Thus, do not hesitate to make an entry even if you are in the planning stages of a project.  Just indicate the status of your project on the entry form.  Someone who is looking for what you are thinking about producing might contact you and tip the scales.  Conversely, someone might be planning to produce exactly what you need but is waiting to decide until a better market appears. 

Not in the UP?

If your project isn't in the UP, but you are close or otherwise within market distance, we will include your entry.

The Chicken & the Egg Must Come Together! 

There are plenty of loggers who would like to harvest more woody biomass, and there is plenty of interest in switching to cheaper, lower-impact, wood fuel.  But, loggers aren't going to invest $100,000's in specialized equipment unless they are confident of a market. Conversely, schools and other facilities are not going to install wood boilers unless a reliable supply of fuel wood is available.  Thus, the need to simultaneously develop both sides of the equation is obvious.  It also seems clear that some brave, farsighted people will have to stick their necks out a bit.  Please help connect the dots on the UP biomass map.
