Summary
Three biomass boilers are being shipped to Haines, Alaska, with the potential to heat a variety of buildings throughout town. The boilers are expected to arrive next month and utilize either wood pellets or locally produced wood chips as a feedstock.
Upon arrival in Haines, the boilers manufactured by Unilux will remain in storage for the next year or so. Twelve to 24 months later they are expected to be up and running, displacing around 80,000 gallons of heating oil. “We are either going to be installing biomass heat in eight or nine municipal buildings, or creating a district heating system,” said Darsie Culbeck, contractor for the borough to help facilitate the biomass project. “In either case, the Coast Guard boilers will be useful.”
