Six renewable energy projects planned for Virginia
In West Virginia, US, regional economic development agency the Appalachian Regional Commission is to provide funding that will see a number of renewable energy projects come online across the region.
The $239,008 (€181,155) grant will go towards cultivating trees and grass for the production of biofuels, as well as installing and testing solar cells.
A total of six green schemes, all of which are planned for former surface mines, will benefit from the grant.
Reeds will be planted at two locations in Upshur Country and used to make biofuels and test solar cells. Elsewhere, in Mingo County, trees will be grown at a 4-H camp, while more trees are to be planted in Webster County for biofuel production and to deal with erosion.
