Faculty member Brian Kerns and Energy Technology student Mike Bergman demonstrate the use of biomass gasification to generate electricity in the Blackfoot valley. The mobile UM Biomass Generator was utilized to generate electricity to the grid from slash piles located on the Paws Up Ranch. All electricity was donated to the Missoula Electric Coop. The UM Biomass Generator is a demonstration project created through Brian's research. Mike Bergman is completing an internship through Alternative Energy Technologies.
