Woody Biomass Fuel: Is it Making a Comeback?

As everyone feels the increase in cost of most fuel sources, is woody biomass fuel in Pennsylvania poised to make a comeback? When the cost of home heating oil, natural gas and electricity move upwards, combusting wood for its thermal energy becomes a feasible alternative fuel source once again.

So, what are we talking about? When we say “woody biomass fuel,” we are referring to renewable woody biomass, or as you may have also heard it called: wood fuel chips, dry fuel chips, green fuel chips or hog fuel. These renewable fuels are generally used to power electric generation facilities, heat small campuses or large buildings.

There is not a one size fits all woody biomass fuel, as the exact type of fuel is determined by the requirements of the boiler. If your business requires renewable fuels suited for your boiler, our team can help you determine the exact specifications of woody biomass fuel that your boiler needs.

During the last energy crunch, as prices increased several schools, hospitals and prisons built these systems. However, when prices for heating fuel and natural gas dropped once again, these systems were taken out of service.

As we approach a similar time of increased energy prices, will these systems be brought back online? Will newly designed and built systems gain popularity as more efficient options to the old systems? Will technologically improved processes make renewable woody biomass the fuel source of choice – even after other fuel costs go back down?
