Fuel Customers
Our fuel-burning customers are typically municipal utilities, industrial plants or major public facilities such as university campuses. They all share the need for a cleaner-burning, renewable supplement to coal or a high-energy blend with biomass. The bulk and energy density of our pellets are very similar to coal; they can be easily integrated into existing storage, transfer, and handling systems. The fuel burns cleaner and is of course derived from non-fossil sustainable sources. Costs associated with adopting our fuel technology are minimal as, in most cases, coal-burning boilers can burn Greenwood pellets without capital expense or facility modification.
The fuel is used in a wide variety of applications including:
- In stoker boilers at industrial power plants to reduce coal consumption
- In a circulating fluidized bed for a Wisconsin public utility
- Blended with biomass to improve energy rating and help moisture control
- Blended into coal piles at fuel terminals for customers to reduce coal fines and meet corporate renewable fuel targets
- Universities in the United States have tested Greenwood pellets within their strategies for sustainability and reduction of coal use
Examples of meeting our customers’ requirements include:
- Universities needing to eliminate coal as an on-campus power source
- Public Utilities burning Greenwood pellets to fulfill state-required levels of green energy production
- Major Manufacturers integrating renewable fuels as a part of corporate sustainability plans
- Paper Mills teaming with Greenwood as both raw material supplier and pellet customer
