LOYALTON BIOMASS will be running and exporting as early as tomorrow or as late as Monday, April 9th. Residents may have heard preliminary testing the last couple of weeks in the form of steam blows. Once online, there will only be a low hum heard. CEO Steve Mueller stated they have 40 trucks coming in and
out a day carrying 40 green tons in one load. Mueller said once the Biomass is running, they will use 800 green tons a day. They have been stockpiling biomass while getting ready to go online and now have 40,000 tons all taken from National Forest lands. Mueller stated, “If it’s not the biggest in the world, it’s close.” The Loyalton Biomass has 22 employees working two shifts a day, seven days a week. Mueller said there is a manufacturing plant for biomass products that will be utilizing the EcoTech Park and plans are in the works to bring in a custom sawmill which will also utilize a couple of the kilns on the property. Mueller’s vision is to bring in other solid businesses with well paying jobs for the community.
