Sawdust and wood scraps at Mud Bay Lumber Company in Haines. Haines is one of dozens of communities around Alaska that have looked into biomass technology.
The bill passed the House on May 1, 38-1. It passed the Senate unanimously last month, with a vote of 16-0.“In our town of Haines, there is no building codes and there is no inspectors, so you can build with whatever you want, so our local sawmills have been selling lumber here for years,” he said. “But in Juneau or Anchorage or places like that, you can’t.”
