“The price of home heating oil in New York has increased by more than 150% over the past decade and the number of homes heating primarily with wood has increased by more than 70%. Under Governor Cuomo’s Renewable Heat NY initiative, the state is looking to transform from inefficient wood heating systems to cleaner, safer, more efficient technologies. Hear from innovators in the high-efficiency and low emissions biomass heating industry.”

The Biomass Heating Sessions of Advanced Energy 2014 provides an opportunity to stay up-to-date on the important technology advances and programs that are leading the way toward a cleaner, more energy-efficient biomass-fired heating sector. Under the direction of Dr. Ellen Burkhard, these sessions further underscore NYSERDA’s leadership role in working with manufacturers and research institutions to develop advanced technologies, perform third-party evaluations and demonstrations to promote this emerging renewable heating industry.
