The Project Grant award of $1,060,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region to Tuolumne Biomass LLC on January 13, 2025 under the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act Financial Assistance to Facilities that Purchase and Process Byproducts for Ecosystem Restoration program (CFDA 10.725). The funding will support Tuolumne Biomass LLC in expanding its wood processing capacity to transform forest restoration byproducts, such as small-diameter timber and hazardous fuels, into commercially viable wood products. This aligns with the program's objectives to decrease the cost of vegetation removal on federal and Tribal lands while supporting sustainable forest management practices. The award will enable facility enhancements and equipment upgrades to increase Tuolumne Biomass LLC's ability to utilize at least 50% of raw materials from federal and Tribal lands. The project is expected to be completed by February 28, 2026.
