CARCD Biomass Technical Assistance Grant

This grant from the California Association of Resource Conservation and Development Councils (CARC&DC) now known as the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts (CARCD) was aimed at biomass conversion technologies which utilized large amounts of wood fuel from national forests and other areas to reduce wildfire hazards, especially in the wildland urban interface. This program was funded by the US Forest Service Region 5 State & Private Forestry and ended in December 2010. It funded many feasibility studies in California and led to a number of biomass utilization projects moving forward.

There was a limit of $40,000 per project. A match of 25% minimum was required, which could be in-kind. Visit the CARCD website for further information about funding opportunities.
