The Alaska Wood Energy Development Task Group (AWEDTG) consists of a coalition of federal and state agencies and not-for-profit organizations to explore opportunities to increase the utilization of wood for energy and biofuels production in Alaska.

Recent Highlights:

  • Successful Cordwood Operator Trainings held in Prince of Wales Island and Tanacross (Aug andSept 2024), marking first trainings since 2019
  • Alaska Rural Energy Conference returned to Fairbanks (Oct 2-4), featuring dedicated biomass sessions and valuable networking opportunities
Annual operator trainings will continue in future years. Check out our NEW Training Page for resources. Please fill out the Training Request form and send it to angie@seconference.org to help us meet your training needs.

AWEDTG is evaluating Wood Energy Pre-Feasibility Grants

The Alaska Wood Energy Development Task Group (AWEDTG)* continually accepts Statements of Interest for PRE-feasibility studies.  These applications can come from non-profit corporations, tribes, municipalities, governmental organizations, or commercial entities that would like to explore the feasibility of heating facilities with high- efficiency, low-emission, wood-fired systems.  The goal of this request is to identify cost-effective heating projects that will displace fossil fuels with sustainable wood and/or wood residues. The information from the Statements of Interest will be used to rank projects and determine which ones may receive further consideration for funding and/or other support.
