Biomass Technology in Service of Community and Environment

Wisewood Energy is one of the nation's leaders in developing advanced wood energy projects.

We outfit communities, businesses, and industries with right-sized biomass technology that strengthens local economies, stabilizes energy costs and promotes environmental stewardship.

Why Biomass?

Healthy Forests

Right-sized biomass technologies provide meaningful renewable energy systems that complement existing fuel reduction treatments, FireWise® and FireSAFE® wildfire mitigation efforts, and traditional forest stewardship.

Growing Restoration Economies

We need energy to power our communities. Instead of relying on imported fossil fuels that are subject to a global market, communities in the West can use an abundant regional resource – wood – and invest in their local economies to make them more adaptive and create local jobs.

Better Public Health

Biomass systems, when using waste wood, provide a carbon-neutral alternative to slash piles and landfilling. Using modern and efficient technologies, communities that move away from fossil fuels can benefit from cleaner air and carbon reduction.

We help partners create links between their local forests and more resilient energy systems with wood chips and pellets that typically come from nearby sources in their community.

Applications of Biomass Technology

“Wisewood is impressive for its knowledge of biomass system design and construction, but really shined when it brought together public and private partners to pull off a complex, multi-step biomass project. I appreciate their creative thinking to forge partnership, broker financing and develop local capacity…Having a broad suite of skills was critical to the project’s success."
