Abstract
This guide provides an introduction to woody biomass as a viable
alternative to fossil fuels for generating heat and offers case study
examples and sources for further information on developing a
biomass heat project. It is specifically geared towards communities
in the Pacific Northwest where biomass projects support social
and ecological as well as economic goals. The case studies demonstrate how the ingredients of a successful
biomass heat project can come together with a little initiative and
some hard work. While describing some of the challenges, these
examples also highlight the opportunities and benefits of increased
savings, support for local wood products industries, reduced
dependence on fossil fuels and more sustainable energy systems.
