Finnish company to describe biomass heat and power system
September 20, 2016
Representatives of Finnish manufacturer Volter will offer a presentation Tuesday,
Sept. 20, at UAF about their pioneering work in small biomass-fueled power and heat
systems.
Volter has installed such systems around the world, including at its headquarters
at Finland’s Kempele Ecovillage. Since 2009, the Ecovillage unit has used locally
harvested wood chips to produce electricity and heat for a small microgrid serving
10 houses.
The presentation will be from noon-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20, in the large conference
room at Lola Tilly Commons. Email mefrey@alaska.edu to attend via WebEx. Download a flier for the event here.
The event is sponsored by the UAF Alaska Center for Energy and Power and the Fairbanks
North Star Borough.
