Organisations with a need for steam, for example hospitals, chemical companies, laundries and food processors, are ideally placed to make use of wood as an energy source. As woodfuel is free of the geographical constraints of geothermal energy, and is the only other renewable energy technology capable of cost-effectively providing steam, a switch to woodfuel is usually the best option open to organisations looking to move away from fossil fuels. Add the fact that woodfuel offers significant running cost savings when compared to oil, gas and even coal in some circumstances, then it becomes the obvious choice for the future.

Steam is generated in the same way in a wood-fired boiler as any other, and the technology is proven and well adopted worldwide. There are many examples of wood-fired steam systems in operation in New Zealand and Australia in the timber processing industry, with a number of industrial applications under development in other sectors.

Living Energy have considerable experience of working with customers who require steam for industrial processes, and have worked with companies in the food processing and brewing industries.
