Boralex partnerships ensure biomass supply |
| by Larry Trojak |
Morbark is a preferred supplier in the power company's unique partnership with logging contractors in Maine.
The recent push by Ontario Power Generation to look at using biomass in
coal-fired generating stations, gave a much-needed boost to the
material as a viable fuel alternative.
One of the biggest players in
that market, Boralex LP, operates a half dozen biomass plants in the
northeast U.S., five of which can, at peak performance, generate an
impressive 240 megawatts per hour (MW/Hr) of electricity.
What truly
sets them apart from the other companies, however, is the way in which
they ensure a steady stream of feedstock material to their plants:
drawing upon a combination of creative business practices and solid
performance from an ever-growing fleet of chippers to recycle better
than two million tons of wood residue each year.
