Join the Forest Biomass Learning Network for this webinar exploring how forest biomass can be converted into more than biochar or heat—it can also serve as a feedstock for producing low-carbon transportation fuels and other clean energy products. In this session, they will explore emerging pathways for converting woody biomass and forest residues into alternative fuels through thermochemical and bioenergy conversion processes. 

The featured speaker, Tom Hobby of Yosemite Clean Energy, will discuss emerging pathways for converting forest biomass into renewable natural gas, hydrogen, and other clean fuel products through advanced gasification technologies. Drawing on his experience in forestry, biomass utilization, and bioenergy commercialization, Tom will explore how biomass-to-fuel systems may fit within broader forest management and wildfire mitigation strategies, as well as key considerations related to technology, feedstock, project development, and market opportunities.
