Join a group of community leaders, agency personnel, and thermal energy experts to discuss the key components to kicking off a project that utilizes woody biomass to generate thermal energy in your local community! Typical applications discussed in this workshop will include boilers at local schools, hospitals, casinos, other large buildings and process heat applications in industrial facilities.
Community-scaled use of woody biomass to generate heat for large buildings and industrial process applications is a commercially proven strategy. Boiler technologies at schools, hospitals, casinos, other large buildings and in industrial facilities that require process heat can dramatically reduce energy costs, foster the use of renewable energy, promote local economic development in rural communities, support green building initiatives, and help reduce forest fuels and sustain forest products businesses.
The workshop will consist of a full-day of speakers and sessions designed to engage community leaders and facility managers in making biomass heat work in their local place. On Day 2 of the workshop, we will visit a community-scaled process heat application at the Prineville Sawmill Company to discuss planning, implementation and costs of a specific project.
