Monticello officials consider gasification facility

MONTICELLO – City leaders are considering trying to convince a private company to build a biomass gasification plant in Monticello that would convert waste, crops or other products into energy by producing gas.

For example, a wood gasification plant treats scrap wood, landscape waste and other wood to produce a gas that can fire a turbine to generate electricity.
