A CLEANER, MORE SUSTAINABLE FUEL
Wood is a clean fuel option for commercial and industrial boilers. Wood energy boilers use a readily available waste resource, offer improved air quality over lignite and can save running costs over the long term.
Wood Energy South has been set up to promote a shift in Southland to a cleaner, more sustainable fuel, improving our air quality, at the same time as we help support a new industry around the use of waste wood.
The three year partnership project between EECA and Venture Southland ended June 2017. The Wood Energy South teamwants to keep the spirit alive and supports businesses to switch to using biomass. Our team is here to help answer your questions and give you all the information you need to make a sound commercial decision on your long term fuel use.
THE ADVANTAGES OF CLEAN WOOD ENERGY
Clean Wood Energy is expected to improve the region’s air quality and is considered an efficient, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable long-term option.
