| Xcel Energy's Bay Front Biomass Gasification Project |
|
Honeywell Developing Low-Global-Warming-Potential Liquid Blowing Agent for Foam Insulation |
 Xcel Energy has filed an application for a Certificate of Authority with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) to install biomass gasification technology at its Bay Front Power Plant in Ashland, Wis. When completed, the project will convert the plant's remaining coal-fired unit to biomass gasification technology, allowing it to use 100 percent biomass in all three boilers and making it the largest biomass plant in the Midwest. Currently, two of the three operating units at Bay Front use biomass as their primary fuel to generate electricity. |
