If you are tasked with specifying a heating method for a school, college, university, or municipal building, here are some reasons to consider wood pellet heating for your project:

  • Low interest loans
  • Energy Services Contract (w/ partners)
  • Performance based contracting (w/ partners)

Operations

• Proven clean, reliable, and economical fuel
• Proven technology – equipment and fuel delivery infrastructure is existing and ready to go
• One building project for your district could diversify fuel sources and energy basket
• Does not have to be a complete retrofit – oil systems remain in place for backup

Policies

• Be a leader in localized energy policy
• Support community and local jobs through local fuel sourcing
• Reduce reliance on foreign oil
