Hi Shaheerah,

 

I heard your voice message. Yes, it's okay to send these requests to me. 

 

I'm checking with others here at the District to see if we have any of these operations in the 

Bay Area.

Hi, Barry. 

I received a request about biomass operations in the Bay Area which I am hoping you can 

help me with. 

Can you let me know whether there are any facilities that operate biomass-fueled boilers 

within Bay Area's jurisdiction? If so, I would like to obtain the following information about these 

facilities. 

 Name of facility

 Biomass fuel type used (e.g., ag waste, wood waste, etc)

 Whether 100% biomass is used or some percentage of biomass is fired with another 

fuel

 Operation status of facility (i.e., permitted but not yet operating; currently operating; 

shutdown)

 Size in MW or MMBtu/hr 

Please let me know if there is someone else I should talk to or feel free to forward this email to 

the appropriate contact. I am hoping to obtain this information by next Tuesday, 6/8. I 

apologize for the short notice. 
Your assistance would be very helpful.

Thanks.
