Supported by a NYSERDA grant, this is New York State’s first highly efficient, commercial-sized, wood-pellet gasification boiler and integrated solar thermal system.

Designed using a recycled shipping container, the wood pellet storage structure is tipped on its edge to promote gravity flow of wood pellets while simultaneously providing an appropriately pitched roof platform for the thermal solar system. The container’s small footprint allows native grass and plant growth around and under the structure.
