The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) has partnered with Venture Southland (VS) to deliver the Wood Energy South project in the Southland region.
The Wood Energy South project is being funded over three years (2014-2017) and it aims to lower energy-related carbon emissions in Southland, improve air quality and demonstrate the cost and life-cycle benefits of wood chip and wood pellet fired boilers utilising local waste wood. It will also provide local employment capacity building and business opportunities. Southland is regarded as an ideal place to set up a cluster because it has forestry and wood processing facilities which generate 300,000 tonnes a year of potential wood fuel. There is demand for heat from commercial premises such as schools, offices, rest homes, hospitals, and industrial processes such as meat works, other factories and dairy processing.
This project builds on the thermal energy switching opportunities identified in the Southland Wood Energy Demand Assessment June 2011 and it can best be described as the implementation phase of the Demand Assessment. The work will also look closely at demonstrating diversity for energy fuel sources and combustion systems, particularly those which comply with the Regional Air Plan.
The aim of the project is to facilitate the establishment of new commercial heat plants in commercial and industrial processes. The project has set ambitious targets and the main challenge, and opportunity, will be competing against low cost coal. The project hopes to do this by demonstrating the benefits of new and emerging wood boiler technologies and focusing on full life cycle costs when assessing investment options.
More information on the project, services, funding and technical resources are available on www.woodenergysouth.co.nz
