Details

PG&E's Woody Biomass Challenge down-selected from 100+ submissions to eight finalists, seven of which - including Takachar (MIT spinout, oxygen-lean portable torrefaction to biochar) - were invited to pursue pilot R&D, market-validation tests or customer discovery. No contract, dollar value or deployed pilot was announced; this is an innovation-challenge selection, not a procurement award.
