VSJF Announces $100,000
       for grass energy pelletization & market development

The Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund is announcing the release of a new RFP
(Request For Proposals) for the research and development of a
pelletizing system capable of processing grass fibers into fuel. In
addition, proposals shall include a business plan that identifies steps
leading to new markets that utilize pelletized grass as a heating fuel
in Vermont.


*Under the Vermont Biofuels Initiative*, VSJF **is seeking proposals
that will lead to the design, fabrication, demonstration and use of a
**mobile or stationary **pelletizing system capable of converting at
least 1 ton of grass biomass per hour into densified fuel.* Projects
must be able to identify at least one in-state source of grass biomass
that will be pelletized and at least one in-state end-user of the
pelletized fuel.


Any organization, farm, individual or business that maintains an active
and physical presence within Vermont is eligible to apply for these funds.

*The deadline for proposal submissions
is February 28, 2011
