Green Energy Resources (GER), New York, N.Y., USA, reports that it has signed a two-year $55 million supply contract to deliver woodchips to Turkey. Shipments are scheduled to commence in March of this year. The pine woodchips will be sourced from Virginia, North Carolina, and Texas. The contract is the second signed with Turkey in the past three months for a combined $72 million in planned exports.

In other news, GER is expecting to begin the domestic supply of woodchips to major U.S. coal power generators in March. Permits for co-firing have been filed with the U.S. EPA and testing is expected through 2010, the company notes. GER sources its wood from storm damage, urban wood waste streams, and tree farms.
