The best fuel-conveying configuration varies by operation, and today's innovative manufacturers are ready to customize to optimize performance and meet challenges.
If someone were to design an energy input with the sole aim of creating the most difficult material handling challenge imaginable, they would likely end up with something that looks very much like biomass.
While the more than $1 million spent to date on Maine's pellet boiler incentives (at $5,000 per unit) pale in comparison with the $27 million for biomass thermal funding just announced by New York State, these incentives are clearly working.

As the wood and pellet stove and boiler industry gets closer to facing new EPA regulations, there is a striking disconnect between industry expectations and the EPA's mandate.
Selecting the best system for storing woody biomass for power or heat generation is not a new challenge, but as renewable energy installations increase, so is interest in weighing different options.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers have discovered that water in the process to convert biomass to bio-oil helps form an impurity which, in turn, slows down key chemical reactions.
The International Energy Agency has released its third annual Medium-Term Renewable Energy Market Report, which includes forecasts for global biofuel and renewable energy growth. For the first time, the report also includes an investment outlook.
Only the October futures contract remains to be settled before the end of summer. With winter looming around the corner, sparing some time to learn a few lessons from the prior year and plan for the upcoming heating season is a prudent course.
