    • The Biomass Task Force investigates the benefits, barriers, and issues related to recovering methane from livestock operations and other biomass resources to produce energy and reduce organic waste. Industries seeking technical, permitting, and regulatory assistance and information about financing options can start here. For more information, visit www.puco.ohio.gov.
    • The Great Lakes WIND Network is demonstrating how Ohio is leading the way with the greatest potential in the United States for manufacturing wind industry components and is transforming its industrial base to supply the world’s wind power needs. To accelerate production of critical components for the global wind industry, the Ohio Department of Development supports the Great Lakes Wind Network on a $1.3 million project to identify, grow, support, and market the wind supply chain in Ohio. A major element of this initiative is to provide services to bring together the specific needs of wind turbine manufacturers with the capabilities of Ohio’s supply chain.
