Biomass Advantages
First class supply chains + leading edge technology = reliable, sustainable, high quality, low cost renewable fuel for US & EU energy markets |
WoodFuels' mission is to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the Co-Fire Program with Utilities, Universities and Industrial applications in the US and in Europe. With the WoodFuels Heat Energy Program, the conversion of schools, commercial and institutional properties to a renewable and inexpensive source of thermal and process energy utilizes locally sourced fuel to displace imported fossil fuels.
From forest, to manufacturing, to our customers' facilities, the WoodFuels Green Path Solution delivers a truly community-based, carbon-neutral service while supporting local, long-term economic development through job creation with certified loggers and foresters, and within each Community Energy Facility.
Technical Advantages of Pellet Co-Firing:
- Achieve immediate RPS credits with existing assets
- Use a fuel source that blends with all types of coal
- Lowers carbon footprint and is deemed carbon neutral
For every ton of coal that is displaced with wood pellets...
- CO2 emissions are reduced by 2 tons
- Hg emissions are eliminated
- HCL emissions are eliminated
- SO2 emissions are reduced by 120 lbs (unscrubbed)
- Ash production is reduced by 180 lbs
- Lime and H2O purchases are reduced (if scrubbed)
There are several key factors to remember when considering the environmental advantages of the WoodFuels Renewable Energy Programs:
- WoodFuels has SURETY OF FUEL SOURCE. WoodFuels owns its pellet production capacity and thus guarantees pellet supply.
- Demonstrating our corporate values through our purchasing decisions, WoodFuels enters into long-term purchase agreements only with regionally-based forest managers, whose forests have been certified as well managed under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or, on an interim basis, whose forest management practices are confirmed to meet WoodFuels' stewardship procurement guidelines.
- WoodFuels manufactures additive-free pellets, creating the most energy efficient wood pellet and lowering the environmental impact from the burning process.
- WoodFuels purchases its logs, manufactures its pellets and delivers its renewable energy within an approximate 200 mile radius - lowering the gross carbon footprint the entire process leaves on the region.
- WoodFuels provides carbon neutral, renewable energy for thermal heating and co-fire programs.
- WoodFuels' Green Energy Solutions reduce the region's dependence on foreign fossil fuel sources, while increasing the need for locally sourced energy.
