Other Initiatives on the HorizonPilot Biomass Pellet Plants
• ESF is researching the viability of constructing a series of biomass pellet projects in Upstate New York.
• Objectives include: Research, demonstration, and
testing grounds for pellets made from various sources of biomass that can be locally produced (willow shrubs, switch grass, agricultural residue, industrial residue, woody biomass)
Successful community-scale biomass production & end-use.
Local, campus owned source of pellets to fuel ESF biomass CHP units.
Existing Renewable Energy Projects
• Campus use of biofuels• Student Biofuels Co-op (SU/ESF)• 250KW Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell• Gasification of woody biomass• Photovoltaic projects (16 KW, 23 KW and 3-
25 KW)• Wind turbine applications (vertical axis and
horizontal axis)• Ranger School wood chip boiler
