Bio-energy park, Sirti, city of Spokane receive energy funds

A bio-energy park near Fishtrap is among the largest Washington recipients of $20 million in federal stimulus money set aside for energy projects. The city of Spokane and Sirti received smaller amounts.

The Barr Regional Bio-Industrial Park was awarded a $500,000 grant and a $1.5 million loan to help finance an anaerobic digester that will convert farm waste and other material into fuel that can drive a turbine that produces electricity.

Besides the digester, the park will contain a composter, and a pond where algae will be grown and converted into fuel.
