Maine Gov says BCAP biomass could net $150M for suppliers [From the web]

AUGUSTA, ME, Feb. 5, 2010 (Bangor Daily News) - Farmers and woodland owners in Maine can benefit from a new federal subsidy program that Gov. John Baldacci says will pump about $150 million into the state over the next two years through the Biomass Crop Assistance Program paid for with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

"[These are] payments for material that is sold to qualified biomass facilities for the production of heat, power, biobased products and advanced biofuels like the cellulosic ethanol project in Old Town," Baldacci said in an interview. "This is really some good news for the state."
