Abstract
California is recognized as one of the greenest states among all the states in Northern America. Thus it is bound that California has lots of tree waste than any other states. On the same lines, Sacramento is knows for city of trees, thus creating ones of tree waste. These three wastes can be used to generate electricity with the help of Biomass Power Plant. According to the biomass power industry in USA, California has highest number of biomass plants. The state government has realized the importance of generating energy through biomass and therefore, governor has directed several state agencies – including the energy commission to take major step towards widespread use of biomass to produce electricity. California Biomass Collaborative (CBC) is joining hands with state agencies to expand biomass power plant field. Above all, the governor has issued an executive order to increase production of electricity using biomass. University of South Carolina (USC), Columbus campus, has taken positive step towards biomass energy generation by installing biomass power plant on their campus, which uses gasification system, first of its kind in America. The plant saves millions of dollars every year on electricity. On the same line, California is blessed with all the input resources such as tree waste in bulk, furthermore the state Government is also making step towards generation of bio fuel. Then why California State University, Sacramento can’t have such kind of power plant on our campus, which can save millions of dollars every year on electricity. Considering the facts that there are numerous companies, which can invest on this project collaborating with government companies such as California Energy Commission, public interest Energy Research and SMUD can be sponsor’s for such kind of project. The whole idea of this research is to lay the foundation of bringing biomass plant on our campus.
