US - The Klamath Tribes say a proposed biomass energy plant would cost about $8 million to $12 million to build. Tribal leaders are meeting with potential partners on the project planned for the former Crater Lake Mill site 25 miles north of Chiloquin.
Preliminary plans call for an 8-megawatt plant that would use a variety of biomass sources, such as woody material and solid waste from urban areas, according to Seattlepi.com.
At full capacity, the plant could provide energy for about 4,000 homes.
The tribes purchased the site in late August. Plans call for an industrial park with other forest products businesses, such as wood bundling services, and small diameter pole and post manufacturing.
When complete, the industrial park would provide an estimated 200 family-wage jobs.
