Demonstration Project Objectives

  • Evaluate performance of a highly efficient gasification wood boiler

integrated with a solar thermal hot water array.

  • Monitor and document emissions from an improved gasification type wood

combustion system to allow comparison with conventional wood and fossil fuel boilers.

  • Monitor and document emissions from improved hydronic heating system

energy efficiency, benefitting from solar heated hot water, with the pre- heated water stored and released to minimize part-load operation of boilers.

  • Reduce heating fuel cost and dependency on fossil fuels.
  • Public outreach and education
