The Source for small-scale, renewable energy projects in New Brunswick, Canada

Biomass

Bioenergy is stored energy from the sun contained in materials such as plant matter and animal waste. This is called biomass. Although fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) were formed by organisms that lived millions of years ago, it takes so long to replace fossil fuels that they are considered non-renewable. Biomass is considered renewable because it is replenished more quickly. Biomass fuel sources include wood, agricultural residue, pulp/paper mill residue, urban wood waste, forest residue, energy crops, landfill methane, and animal waste.

Wood

New stoves that burn solid wood run at around 50-70% efficiency, produce far less particulate air pollution than their old-fashioned predecessors and are renewable, locally produced.

Pellets

Pellet stoves burn pellets that are generally made from wood waste. They burn cleanly, are highly efficient, and prevent millions of tonnes of renewable fuel from being wasted.

Densified Hardwood

Densified Hardwood Fire Logs are produced from hardwood shavings which are a by-product of the hardwood flooring industry. With absolutely no additives, they can be used safely in your existing wood stove or fireplace.
