University of Iowa biomass boiler testing starts

In this article from Biomass Power and Thermal magazine, it's noted that the UI's biomass boiler on the UI Research Park is being tested. Also the UI's effort to secure more biomass fuel is noted, as part of reaching its 2020 goal for 40 percent of all energy used on the main campus to be renewable. See the article here.
