Wood Energy Educational Site Visits in New Hampshire
MCEC recently hosted an educational site visit to showcase thermal wood energy, in partnership with the Rural Maryland Council MAERDAF grant, the U.S. Forest Service, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and the Alliance for Green Heat.
The trip to New Hampshire featured tours at various facilities, including greenhouses, public schools, state government buildings, manufacturing plants, and even a factory where wood chips are generated.
When Peterborough, NH constructed its multi-million-dollar library in the land parcel adjacent to the old library, the town transitioned the old library into a boiler house for the new facility’s two pellet boilers.
Guest speakers Mark Fröling and Jim Valkenburgh from Fröling Energy shared their knowledge with the group.
