Carbon-Free Prosperity 2025

Carbon-Free Prosperity 2025 notes that another strong opportunity lies in developing the intellectual resources and infrastructure to make sustainable bioenergy a true regional clean technology industry. Farmers and ranchers are already beginning to grow camelina and other oilseed crops and to harness agricultural waste streams such as cow manure for energy. It’s a next-generation industry for Northwest agriculture.
