The board of Golden State Natural Resources on June 25 voted to revise its plans for the proposed development of two wood pellet plants in California and will instead move forward with the development of two smaller-scale wood chip projects. GSNR is a nonprofit public benefit corporation … their initial plans focused on the conversion of woody biomass gathered as part of forest treatment and restoration activities into wood pellets… The board, however, voted to move forward with a plan to revise the scope of the project, which could include reducing the size and throughput of both facilities while transitioning from producing wood pellets for export to the production of wood chips for domestic use. GSNR noted wood chips could have applications in domestic alternative energy production, such as sustainable aviation fuel, marine biofuels, or in bioenergy with carbon capture and storage applications. Alternatively, wood chips can be used to produce wood products, such as oriented strand board.
