BIO-ENERGY/MSW PROVIDER SURVEY
Thank you for participating in the bio-energy provider survey. It should only take about 15 minutes to complete.
The focus of this survey is on conversion technologies and services with the ability to process a significant portion of the feedstock from the waste stream. The University of California, Davis is maintaining a current inventory of bio-energy technologies and companies. We are particularly interested in technologies and actual operating facilities or projects using materials from the urban sector, such as MSW or post-MRF residuals.
The technology list and information from the surveys can be used as a clearinghouse for communities interested in landfill alternatives and bio-energy production from urban residuals. For example, the information provided by you may be made available on the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) conversion technologies web page.
Please be as specific as possible. We are providing space for you to include information on one or two of your facilities. If you operate more than two facilities, and want to provide further information, please let us know.
Contact us at [email protected] with any questions or comments.
