Bright Future for Wood Pellets Discussed at Portland Biomass Conference

I recently attended the Northeast Biomass Conference held at the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, Maine. It was a good showing for most of the principal manufacturers and suppliers of wood pellets in the Northeast. It was the place to be to find out about the future of wood pellet heating in our region. Pellet manufacturers from New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Canada were all there, offering to make more pellets available to suppliers in New England for the upcoming heating season.
 
There were also many vendors demonstrating the latest in wood pellet heating technology. There were three manufacturers of central heating pellet boilers in attendance with systems that supply central heating to homes with forced hot-water baseboard heating or air handlers. These systems are capable of handling the entire heating load with very little maintenance work from the homeowner, and bulk bins make it possible to never have to handle bags again.
 
The Workshop section of the conference included some important topics such as keeping biomass green, new EPA standards for biomass and incentives for installing wood pellet central heating systems. There were five states represented on the panel discussing the topic of incentives, and most states had an average of $5,000 worth of incentives per homeowner. The state with the lowest incentive (Maine) had the most pellet systems installed (450). The state with the highest incentive (Massachusetts) had the fewest installations (50). Go figure! 
 
The difference seems to be that Maine has done a lot more marketing than any other state and has a more active bulk-delivery system. The good news is that you, customers of Crowley Fuel, have a great opportunity to take advantage of up to $12,000 in incentives and a 0-percent loan for any additional costs. If this sounds interesting to you please give me a call to get more information and a free estimate.
