  4. Abundance of Waste Wood • Wood Waste accounts for 17% of total waste received at municipal landfills. • 180,000,000 tons of Urban Wood Waste generated annually. • More than 40,000,000 tons available for recovery. • Landfilling of Wood Waste is expensive for local governments and businesses. • Using waste wood as fuel is a less expensive alternative to land filling.

  5. Alternatives to Landfills • Wood can be used to generate useful thermal output for heating and cooling buildings and for electricity production. • Wood chips, bark, sawdust and scrap wood account for about 2% of energy used today. • Wood is a renewable resource and a cost-efficient alternative to coal, gas or oil. • Environmental advantages. • In Ohio, wood is used as fuel to heat hospitals and a university in Akron, a greenhouse in Oberlin, and for wood drying kilns in Youngstown. • New wood fueled boiler projects are being built in Ohio and Canada.

  6. Buckeye Wood Energy • Accepts Waste Wood from governments, industries and institutions. • Accepts Waste Wood at our storage location in Trumbull County at the intersection of Routes 11 & 5. • Accepts tree trimmings, chipped wood and sawdust, both “green” wood and “processed wood”. • Does not accept any treated wood. • Picks up Waste Wood from large volume waste generators. • Accepts from 1 load a week to 1000 loads a week. • Currently needs waste wood in Northeast Ohio, Northwest Ohio, Michigan and Western Ontario.

  7. Typical Operations for Wood Fueled Energy Production Plants • Municipal, District or Community heating systems. • Industrial Boilers. • Agribusiness – Greenhouse heating. • Institutional Building Heating and Chilling systems. • Electricity generation. • Industrial Direct Fired Equipment.

  12. Tree Trimmings and Brush From Community Steam Heats and Cools Buildings, Universities and Hospitals. WOOD WASTE FUELED ENERGY PLANT TURNS WOOD INTO STEAM Energy Plant Waste Wood is Shredded into 2 inch Chips Fuel to Energy Plant Shredded Wood Chips are Transported to Energy Plant Waste Wood is Temporarily Stored for Energy Plant

  13. Economic and Community Benefits of Energy Recycling • Eliminates landfilling of Waste Wood. • Lower operating costs. • Environmentally friendly alternative • Eliminates unsightly stockpiling of wood waste. • Allows for expansion and/or development of government sponsored Wood Waste Collection programs because there is a long term way to use the wood beneficially. • Reduces environmental and health liabilities.

  14. Burning Recycled Tires • Wood-fired Boilers can benefit from mixing Tire Derived Fuel (TDF) with wood. • TDF provides 3 times the BTU per pound compared to wood, and the cost per million BTU is less than one-half that of wood. • Most wood boilers can safely burn 8% - 20% TDF in the fuel mix. • Burning TDF saves valuable landfill space and is cost-effective. • Buckeye Wood can assist with regulatory approval.

  15. Advantages of TDF • 31M BTU per ton of TDF compared to 9-16M BTU per ton of wood. • Available in size from ¾” to 4” chips at a cost per Million BTU ranging from $0.90 to $1.80 • Stack emissions usually decrease when adding TDF. TDF chips, Wood chips and sawdust storage in Oberlin, OH
