      Air quality within the Mammoth Lakes region will benefit from a pellet production facility due to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Reduced truck transport emission as pellets produced in Northern California and Oregon are replaced by locally produced pellets (thus reducing truck transport emissions).<\/li>\n
      • Pellet stove appliances are cleaner burning than conventional fireplaces and wood stoves, thus improving regional air quality.<\/li>\n
      • Wood pellets reduce GHG emissions by replacing fossil fuel (propane or natural gas) as a heat source.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Densified wood pellets will be produced for the following uses:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Residential and commercial heating<\/li>\n
        • Animal bedding (e.g., rabbit, chicken, equine)<\/li>\n
        • Absorbency (spill cleanup)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
