• General Electric (GE) is partnering with PHG Energy, an alternative energy technology provider, to turn waste such as wood chips and other biomass materials into clean fuel via gasification. 
• The resulting gas is then used as a thermal heat source for GE's Clean Cycle heat-to-power generator unit.
• Through a power purchase agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority, electricity from the Clean Cycle unit is then brought onto the grid.
