Hey everyone, I work for a northern (North of 60) indigenous non-profit as an energy analyst. Previously, I was a project manager in the solar industry.

Something I'm interested in investigating is a pilot project for residential heating using biomass in off-grid communities. The predominant fuel source in these communities is oil and they have limited capacity to electrify heat, at least in the near future. There is no local supply chain for fossil fuels. Biomass could create a local supply chain that would provide jobs and lower carbon emissions and air pollution. At least, according to many of the claims I've read online about emissions from biomass.

However, I'd like to investigate whether or not this is factual. I've tried to do some googling but have come up short. I can't seem to find any study that inventories GHG emissions of a biomass project in a boreal region. Does anyone know of any study that attempts to analyze the GHG emissions. pollutants, maybe even cost effectiveness in comparison to fossil fuels in a northern region?

I understand there is a lot of concern with cutting down old-growth forest in Europe and the idea that it's not actually carbon neutral to manufacture pellets. But I think the concept of small, northern communities developing a program like this is a slightly different context.

Beston biomass charcoal making machine for sale uses the most advanced carbonization technology (also known as pyrolysis technology) to convert biomass into charcoal. So far, the charcoal making equipment produced by Beston Machinery has been sold and installed in Turkey, Ukraine, Chile, Spain, and more than 30 countries and regions all over the world, which helps our customers obtain a huge profits while using biomass waste.

Hi guys! Just wanna know what does ang field operator on a Biomass powerplant do. ✌️

First Hydrothermal Carbonization process plant has finished installation, and begun testing and commissioning- PXVNEO will be the first in in North America to process sewage. Located at a Municipal WWTP in Pennsylvania, the project will start with sludge, and eventually handle sludge and food waste concurrently.

Expected to be fully operational Q1 2023.
