Going Green is a term used to refer to the process of re-evaluating how we use energy with the intention of reducing the impact on our environment. It means different things to different people.

To us it means, in part, using natural, renewable resources as heat energy sources. This produces fewer harmful emissions, lessens our dependence on imported and diminishing fossil fuels, and creates more self-sufficiency – not to mention bolstering American pride.

A little about Biomass and it’s “Green” aspects:

Biomass energy is essentially the sun’s energy captured and stored in growing materials. This energy can be released “directly” through combustion, one of the most efficient and direct methods of harnessing biomass energy. This results in very efficient energy transfer in the form of heat for our homes, garages, barns, shops, offices - virtually anywhere we need heat.

Other “indirect” uses of this energy actually require additional energy to convert biomass fuels into other forms (e.g. refining into liquid fuel) making them far less efficient uses of biomass’ natural energy.

Using direct Biomass heat could significantly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions versus burning fossil fuels.

How? Burning biomass fuels releases some CO2. However, that CO2 is "balanced" by the amount of CO2 that was captured during its growth process just a short time before. Burning fossil fuels releases "new" CO2 that had previously been stored deep in the earth having no significant environmental impact.

Since it takes only about 180 days to reproduce corn and this process consumes carbon dioxide, a balance is created between the amount of CO2 removed from the air and the amount replaced through the burning process.

As a renewable, natural energy source, biomass is a more sustainable and less intrusive solution than heating with fossil fuels.

We believe in the power of biomass to have a positive impact on our environment and lifestyle here in America. Will you join us in support of our environment for future generations?
