AMO Director Participates in Official Senate Energy and Natural Resources Field Hearing in Maine
AMO Director Dr. Mark Johnson traveled to Robbins Lumber in Searsmont, Maine on Friday, October 6, to participate in an official Senate Energy and Natural Resources field hearing. Chaired by Senator Angus King, the field hearing discussed how the Department of Energy is looking to support Maine's forest industry with early-stage research on combined heat and power technology to generate onsite power that will save money and create jobs.
"Combined heat power systems represent an important opportunity for manufacturers. They can provide reliable, flexible, cost-effective energy efficient power to a variety of industrial, commercial, and institutional energy consumers in our communities," said Mark Johnson.
