Iowa City to investigate MSW-to-biofuel options

In Iowa, Iowa City officials are expected to open a call for consultants by summer to explore options for MSW-to-biofuel in an attempt to reduce the city’s landfill. The City Council expects to spend up to $50,000 on the consultant whose responsibility will be to vet various technologies. Last year Fiberight met with city officials about the company’s proposed $59.5 million MSW-to-biofuel facility in Benton County. Fiberight is expected to be one of the technologies investigated by the consultant.
