(MADISON, Wis.)—The coalition for Clean, Responsible Energy for Wisconsin’s Economy announced on Wednesday that Greenwood Fuels has joined the coalition.
Greenwood Fuels, which opened a plant in Green Bay last year, converts non-recyclable waste products, including sludge from the paper production process, into fuel pellets that have the same heat value as coal. The pellets can be burned in industrial applications, reducing fuel costs, landfill costs, and greenhouse gas emissions.
“Greenwood Fuels is working to create fuel solutions that not only save companies money, but help save our environment as well,” said Jay Troger, President and COO of Greenwood Fuels. “We’re excited to partner with CREWE to help put Wisconsin on the cutting edge of environmental sustainability efforts and green job creation.”
CREWE is a coalition that formed to advocate meaningful change in energy policy consistent with the Governor’s Global Warming Task Force final report, which will have a positive impact on Wisconsin’s economic development and security while fostering job creation.
CREWE’s membership consists of CleanPower, Alliant Energy, EcoEnergy, Johnson Controls, Xcel Energy, C5•6 Technologies, Axley Brynelson, Madison Gas and Electric, Orion Energy Systems, Forest County Potawatomi Community, Wisconsin Energy Corp., Poblocki Sign Company, Emerging Energies of Wisconsin, MillerCoors, American Transmission Co., WPPI Energy, DTE Energy Services, Kranz, Inc., and Greenwood Fuels.
The coalition is dedicated to joining forces with other supporters to promote responsible policies that address climate change; create jobs; promote energy efficiency, reliability and independence; and mitigate the economic impacts of rising energy costs.
