What you should know about the proposed biomass power plant to be built in Greenfield What you should know about the proposed biomass power plant to be built in Greenfield Did you know that the American Lung Association already gives our area an “F” for air quality? Did you know that the American Lung Association already gives our area an “F” for air quality? This power plant would burn 500,000 tons of wood a year and release 1 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It puts out 1.5 times as much CO2 as the Mt. Tom coal fired plant per megawatt of power produced. This power plant will add .3% of electricity to the Massachusetts grid and will operate at 25% efficiency.

The air pollution from nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compounds (two ingredients of ground level ozone) and fine particulate matter affects our health, especially if we are young, old, or have lung or heart problems. It is associated with asthma, heart disease and cancer.

It is associated with asthma, heart disease and cancer. Your tax dollars will subsidize this project. The developer of the power plant will get $60 million of taxpayer money within 3 weeks of finishing the project. Then the developer will sell it, most likely to an investment fund, and will leave town. Your tax dollars will subsidize this project.
