Can we heat most of PEI by using wood? This video shows us that the technology and the savings are here to do that.

I interview Dick Arsenault who is the agent and installer for the KOB Biofuel Boiler at the Ecole Evangeline on PEI. You will see how easy this is to install, maintain and operate. We end with the costs that offer us a dramatic opportunity.

Here is part of the press release: A biomass heating system demonstation project at École Évangéline in Abram-Village is now operating, announced the Department of Environment, Energy and Forestry and la Commission scolaire de langue française.

The school will now be using a pellet-fuel furnace as its primary heat source, with an oil-heat system used only to supplement the pellet-fuel system. The school uses approximately 100,000 litres of fuel each year for heating, but expects that the addition of the system which burns pelletized wood will dramatically cut its annual bill.

The heating system installed is an Austrian-built 300 kilowatt Kob Pyrot pellet furnace, supplied by Atlantic Cool Air of Wellington. The unit arrives in a ready-for-installation container designed to be placed outside the school building and integrated into the heating system through pipes that connect to a heat exchanger.

This is a video of a Tatano pellet boiler burning a mixture of, wood pellets, wheat straw pellets, barley straw pellets, reed canary grass pellets, miscanthus pellets and cardboard pellets. All of these pellets are known collectively as biomass pellets. These fuel pellets have been produced using the PelHeat Mobile Pelletizer, which can produce biomass fuel pellets from a wide variety of materials. The unit is based on a small single axel trailer and features a hammer mill for size reduction and a flat die pellet mill to compress the material into pellets. The units are powered by Perkins diesel engines, which can also use bio-diesel.

Biomass pellets are a carbon neutral fuel source, as they are sourced from the carbon cycle they do not introduce extra carbon in to the cycle like fossil fuels. With the PelHeat Mobile Pelletizer local biomass resources can be used to produce biomass pellets, which are then used in the local community. This produces a cheaper fuel for the consumer, provides income and jobs for the local economy, utilizes local biomass resources and waste resources, and reduces dependence on foreign oil.

In the video below, Greg explains his wood pellet boiler system. In this earlier video, Greg explained his solar domestic hot water system. Both systems are great steps to take when transitioning your home from fossil-fuels to renewable energy.
