Some of the team! Installing performance monitoring equipment on the biomass boiler system at the Wikwemikong high school with Trudeau’s Plumbing & Heating and Canmet #NRCan. Goal is to understand Wiki’s success with community scale biomass conversion and share with Canada.
Heat and hot water for your off-grid build, no problem. This Froling PE1 wood pellet boiler with buffer tank, domestic hot water system and 3kW backup electric boiler was installed in 2023 in an off-grid project in Ontario.

Do hydronic components excite you? They certainly do it for us! We supply specialized products (like the @caleffi thermobloc) with our biomass heating systems to ensure the highest efficiency and control with the lowest emissions. #cleantech
50% of a mature harvested softwood tree is used for lumber. The rest is used for pulp products and green low carbon energy. After the tree is harvested, a new forest is planted and starts sequestering more carbon. #forestry101
Heat with a low carbon, sustainable and clean energy? Wood in a modern high efficiency boiler will give years of worry free, affordable low carbon energy. #sustainable
Not harvesting trees will not store carbon, it will only fuel forest fires and insect outbreaks. Sustainable forest management and responsible use of wood products (instead of using fossil fuels) are required for Canada to meet Carbon targets.
Wood chips aren't all the same (even though they often look like it). Wood chip fuel quality must match the equipment combusting it. Our partners at @polytechnik will build systems tailored to difficult wood chip fuels. #biomass.

A new refractory in the secondary combustion chamber of this Froling firewood boiler makes it all set for another 12 years of reliable operation. #biomass#sustainability
We visited the #Wiehag plant last week in Austria and was thoroughly impressed by their glue lam factory. Locking carbon in building materials, shipping around the world. All wood waste is used to supply their heat and electricity operational needs. https://t.co/Zp6N13x6TZ
Fantastic week in Austria catching up with our partner #polytechnik. Global leaders in wood combustion with ultra low emissions and have installations around the world, soon to be in Canada. We need biomass heating in Canada to achieve Carbon goals! #biomass. #sustainability
Home heating is a larger Carbon emitter than cars. Just an EV in the driveway is not enough to reach 2050 targets. Wood is a renewable, affordable and sustainable alternative when burned in high efficiency boilers. #biomass. #sustainability#climatechange
Decarbonize everything with electrification(heat pumps)? Won't work. Using mature wood for products, energy (and jobs!) to decarbonize heating loads is smart, sustainable and technologically viable, right now!
Trees store carbon, Yes! Until they reach maturity when they start emitting as they decay or burn in a forest fire. Using mature trees to offset fossil fuels is a sustainable way to decarbonize. We must improve our wood use in #renewableenergy#climateaction#sustainableliving!
We work with @rutterurbanforestry who processes all of their wood chips into P45 heating fuel for #Froling boilers at @confederationcollege and @belluzfarms. This is how you decarbonize a heat load and create economic gains at the same time! #biomass#climatechange
