OVERVIEW
Biomass is a viable source of renewable energy that can reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas and other emissions in coal-fired boilers. As environmental sustainability increases in coal-fueled energy generation, more plants are implementing solutions to meet mandated or enforceable renewable portfolio standards (RPS).
UCC Environmental has decades of experience and over 100+ installations in wood-fired boiler applications. As a leader in material handling and environmental control technologies, our technical expertise provides robust engineered and integrated solutions to meet the unique needs of our Customers while providing the highest level of system reliability.
