EPA Holds Piedmont Green Power Accountable for Air Pollution
The Piedmont biomass plant burns hundreds of thousands of tons of wood, but doesn’t ensure fuels are uncontaminated and doesn’t test for hazardous air pollutants
Georgia-biomass
PFPI petitions EPA to overturn permit for Piedmont Green Power, a 60.5 MW biomass plant in Georgia
The facility, which received millions in federal clean energy funding, has a “Don’t ask don’t tell” policy for fuel contamination
Not the “clean energy” we had in mind
Lithonia, GA and Manchester, UK, are facing polluting, high-emissions biomass power plants sold as “green” power, even though air pollution is already at unhealthy levels.
