Case Studies

New concepts are easier to explain with examples. This set of 15 case studies provides short descriptions of utilities, industries, and facilities that are using or planning to use wood for energy. Interviews were conducted with employees at each facility to obtain this information. We tried to portray the challenges as well as the benefits of this system to make the opportunities as realistic and as useful as possible.
