The University of Alaska Fairbanks started the process to replace aging coal boilers in 2004. The process started with exploring many fuel and technology options. The final recommendation was for a Circulating Fluidized Bed boiler fueled with coal and capable of burning 15% biomass. This case study will tell the story from the early stages through construction. The new $245M CHP plant is under construction and will be complete in 2018.
