Biomass contributes more than 5,700 Gigawatt-hour to California's
in-state renewable power, approximately 19% of in-state renewable
power, and 2% of full California power mix. Current operating
biopower capacity is about 900 Megawatt (MW), including
approximately 550 MW of woody biomass solid fuel combustion, 280
MW of landfill gas-to-energy and 75 MW from wastewater treatment
biogas. It is estimated that there is sufficient in-state
'technically' recoverable biomass to support another 2,800 MW of
capacity or 21 Terawatt-hour of electricity. While most biomass
energy is derived from woody material (including urban wood
waste, and forest product and agricultural residues), there is a
growing interest in using municipal solid waste, food processing
waste, animal manure, and wastewater (co-digestion at wastewater
treatment facilities) to generate electricity and renewable
fuels. Increasing production of bioenergy contributes to energy
sustainability while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and
also could help reduce criteria pollutant emissions. For more go

The energy challenge facing California is real. Every Californian
needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption. For
