This presentation will begin by eliciting audience feedback about their experience with and impressions of biomass hydronic heating systems. After this, a quick survey of the most common biomass feedstocks and system types will familiarize the audience with those they are likely to encounter. Then we lead in to a discussion of the essential differences between biomass and fossil fuels in terms of performance, especially turn down ratios, ash and moisture content, advances in emissions control, and storage and supply issues.
