Rising Costs – global competition (China, Indonesia, India)
Supplies – economic limitations and long-term absolute shortages, nothing imminent, and alternative technologies take decades

20,000 inhabitants Note: Marquette plant 600+ MW, coal, ˝ to mines.
Entirely city-owned. 90% of UP electricity (incl. pulp & paper mills?)
3 boilers. 1 boiler (winter operated) burns biomass. Source: Wikipedia
44,000-55,000 green tons consumed/year.
Heats almost entire city. Powers about half the city.
Annual heat & power cost to residences about $3700.

47. One of the world’s largest pellet plants . . . most is actually export to Europe.
Next door is a pulp plant than accepts chips.
Buys about 2000 cords/day.
Feedstock cost is about 50% of pellet cost.
Presses produce about 25 tons/hour. One of the world’s largest pellet plants . . . most is actually export to Europe.
