Background
Stockton Cogeneration Facility was a coal-fired power station owned and operated by Air Products & Chemicals in Stockton, California. The plant provides power to Air Products' Stockton chemicals facility.
In Dec. 2008, Air Products announced plans to use biomass to offset some of the plant's coal consumption.[2]
The plant was retired as a dedicated coal plant in 2012 and converted to run on biomass.[3]
