In a recent study, Wisconsin ranked among the highest of the 50 U.S. states for its potential to produce biomass for energy. When it comes to saving energy and money, wood works well in Wisconsin because it is a low-cost fuel and a sustainable energy source, and its use generates local economic development and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. A more sustainable way to heat and power our businesses, a biomass combustion system extracts heat energy from biomass, which is most often wood residue from wood processing operations. The system then transfers that heat to water in a boiler or heat jacket. The hot water or steam generated by this process serves the facility heating demand using heat exchangers. You can visit the Focus on Energy Information Center to learn more about biomass energy systems or call us at 800.762.7077 to receive hard copies of fact sheets or the biomass energy brochure.
