Biomass & Beyond: Growing a Resilient Regional Bioeconomy

Join us on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM for the second interactive workshop to help create a resilient bioeconomy.

Attendees will work together to create clear, consistent messaging, policy recommendations, and discuss sustainable revenue models. At this workshop, attendees will hear from local and state experts, learn about innovative and scalable solutions, and learn how to advocate for policies that advance biomass opportunities for our forests and agricultural lands. This event is in partnership with the Capital Region Climate Readiness Collaborative, We Prosper Together, the Cleaner Air Partnership, and Valley Vision. 

Why should California and the Capital Region invest in Biomass Utilization?

In 2023, biomass diverted over 7 million tons of waste from landfills, and provided approximately 5% of California’s in-state energy supply. With an estimated 47 million bone- dry tons of biomass resource potential statewide, California is poised to lead in bio-based innovation through forest restoration, waste diversion, and bioindustrial development. 

Biomass utilization has untapped potential to help reduce catastrophic wildfire risk, manage agricultural and forest waste for rural and urban economic growth, protect and improve public health and natural resources in all of our communities.
