California Wood Processing and Bioenergy Facilities

Welcome to the interactive map of California's Forest Products and Biomass Power Plant facilities. This resource is a collaborative effort developed by UC Cooperative Extension to monitor and analyze wood utilization capacity throughout the state of California. 

We maintain current information on capacity, development, and status of facilities accepting feedstock from California wood resources. On this page you will find an interactive map and summary table of wood intake facilities. Here you can find a list of local community biomass initiatives and working groups. We also provide a variety of print-ready maps and raw data for download with assistance from the USFS.

This effort is built on contributions from the California Biomass Collaborative, California Energy Commission, California Public Utilities Commission, California Forestry Association, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Biomass Power Association, California Biomass Energy Alliance, California Energy Almanac, University of Montana, Watershed Research and Training Center, and individual facilities. We appreciate the feedback and input from Tad Mason and Fred Tornatore at TSS Consultants and Rob Williams from the UC Davis California Biomass Collaborative. Funding support is provided by the California Department of Forestry and the USFS Region 5 State and Private Forestry.
