Evergreen Pulp is busy building a machine that will chew up whole logs from tan oak trees, long considered a weed where it occurs on timberlands.
The Samoa mill may be able to supply 10 to 15 percent of its needs using the whole log chipper which it bought from a veneer plant in Rogue River, Ore. The machine will be housed in a three-story building, and includes sorters, shakers and bins to separate the pulp processes’ raw material — chips — from hog fuel, which would be sold to local wood-burning power plants.

EUREKA — Evergeen Pulp Inc. has been selected by the California Energy Commission to head up a program to help the state wean itself off fossil fuels.
Diversified Energy Corp. and Evergreen Pulp were selected by the state to run a $500,000, 36-month-long energy project through the Public Interest Energy Research Natural Gas Program, part of the California Energy Commission.
The program is to encourage companies to research, develop and demonstrate technologies to replace natural gas with renewable resources.
