Biomass Energy Working Group

The Indiana Office of Energy Development in conjunction with Purdue Extension sponsor the Indiana Biomass Energy Working Group.  This group is a consortium of stakeholders from the industry, state and federal government, trade organizations, universities and citizenry working together to create a climate in the state of Indiana that would foster the growth of a viable renewable energy industry, protect our environment, provide energy security and green jobs in our communities. This will be done through educational programming and networking among stakeholders.

For more information about the Indiana Biomass Energy Working Group, please contact Cary Aubrey at OED or Chad Martin at Purdue University Extension.
