The Catskill Grass Bio-Energy Project

February 6, 2010

Enviro Energy LLC is pleased to support, and participate in, the Catskill Grass Bio-Energy Project, formerly known as the Delaware County Grass Bio-Energy Project, developed by the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Delaware County in partnership with the Catskill Watershed Corporation, the Delaware County Department of Economic Development, and Cornell University.

In an effort facilitate the development of a local grass bio-energy system, this distinguished group is developing a “production to consumption” grass bio-energy pilot project.  The basics of this program are as follows:

• To work with farmers to produce and test grass biomass feedstock suitable for combustion purposes.  This is not hard, but requires some different management techniques.
• To work with local grass biomass processors, in particular EnviroEnergy LLC of Franklin NY to produce and test grass biomass pellets
• To test and demonstrate bulk delivery and on site handling of grass pellets
• To install, research, and demonstrate residential and small business/municipality scale combustion technologies (pellet stoves and outdoor boilers) that are known to work with grass pellets.  This will include a variety of technologies as they emerge in the next 3 years.

  Grass pellets have almost the same BTUs per pound as wood pellets, without ever cutting a tree. Grass crops grown for fuel are not harvested until August. Woody, mature stems make the best pellets. Cutting this late in the summer virtually eliminates wildlife damage as song birds and turkeys are through nesting and fawns are up and away. This permanent sod cover is excellent erosion control and maintains the combination of woods and green open space that makes this area so desirable to wildlife and humans alike.

  We at Enviro Energy LLC are excited to work with landowners and farmers in our area to bring our grass pellets to market! We can work together by purchasing a product that may be growing right out your door. Enviro Energy needs very poor quality, AUGUST cut hay! Weeds, briars, and small brush actually make your hay better for us. If it gets rained on, so much the better. The hay should be dry enough when it is baled, to store without molding, just like any other baled hay.
