Biomass facility uses energy crops, wood and AG by-products

Article Abstract:

The Koda Energy project is a biomass-to-energy project created by the Shakopee Mde Wakanton Sioux community (SMSC) and Rahr Malting Company of Shakopee. Energy crops such as switchgrass improves water quality by providing a continuous cover that stabilizes the soil, decreases nutrient transport and protect erosion and similarly, by-products from agricultural processing industries that Koda Energy would use as fuel are currently low value residues to extend livestock feed.
