Our new Community Biomass iBook is now available free for download on iTunes. Developed in cooperation with the US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station and the University of Minnesota, this interactive iBook format represents community-scaled and district energy applications that use forest biomass. By using embedded video, interviews and a fuel calculator, this new resource allows communities to run through an initial project feasibility. The iBook also includes a virtual tour of many of Colorado’s biomass energy facilities.

NOTE: While our initial effort is exclusive to Apple users, we are working to make subsequent revisions and additions available in other formats.
