| Additional Information | The purpose of this partnership program is to provide financial support for biomass-heating projects that utilize community-based biomass sources. Funding for feasibility studies or economic analyses may be considered in rare cases. Financial support from multiple stakeholders must be committed before a project can receive additional funding through the program. It is anticipated that three to ten bio-heating projects will be awarded funding for the rest of the state's 2008 fiscal year. Priority will be given to projects that use community produced wood chips or Colorado manufactured pellets (when available). High-priority will be given to projects that "include supply from fuel-reduction, restoration activities, local collection sites, and/or projects that demonstrate long term availability of biomass supply." Residential and large industrial projects are not eligible for funding under this program. |
