BioPower Programs

Developing successful projects for generating heat and power from biomass requires project teams that can derive every ounce of value from the renewable resource. Only projects with captive biomass resources can afford to take a simple standard design off the shelf and build a profitable project. The keys to success include:

  • Securing clean and reliable supply sources at discounted prices;
  • Building fuel handling, processing and management systems that are efficient, robust and require minimal attention to operate on a baseload duty cycle;
  • Building conversion systems that use the best technology today to take advantage of the attributes of biomass,
  • Securing the full value of the environmental benefits of biomass whether it be through green power trading certificates or emission trading credits or state and federal tax incentives.

ANTARES has helped clients secure affordable biomass supplies, design handling and processing systems that are both proven and innovative, and select among the many technology options available for conversion from simple packaged solid fuel boilers to gasification systems coupled with state of the art steam and gas driven power generation equipment. We have helped projects market the environmental attributes and reduce the risk of financing new technologies with public cost sharing programs.

We have worked with the environmental regulatory agencies to permit commercial operations for biomass, presenting the best research on the performance of biomass systems in commercial and demonstration projects. We can help you to find the best solutions for BioPower projects that deliver the full value of this renewable resource.
