Construction continues on the biomass plant at the millsite. Here are some photos.

More equipment for the biomass plant is being shipped from India. From the project manager:

“95% of equipment in India is packaged and ready to ship. We are finishing up gasifier packaging at the moment. There are some details that need to be worked out but hope to be resolved tomorrow or first thing Monday. Once that is done, we can project schedules of shipments leaving India.”
