Summit County Utah wins BDO Zone A rating

In Utah, the BDO Zone Initiative has issued a BDO Zone ‘A’ rating for Summit County, Utah for 100,000 bone-dried metric tons per year of woody biomass. The prestigious ‘A’ rating indicates ‘high quality’ feedstock supply chains and infrastructure, attributed to minimal competition for pulpwood and forest residue, combined with an anticipated additional supply from standing dead timber. Additionally, implementation of forest fuel removal programs by the US Forest Service, support likelihood of a stable and subsidized feedstock supply for the next 5 to 10 years.
