Community Biomass Energy (CBE) works to transform locally produced biomass into sustainable energy products. The group clears land for free and harvests biofeedstock to make into grass pellets for energy-efficient pellet stoves. This process provides jobs for the community, reduces carbon emissions by eliminating long-distance timber shipments, and provides a source of renewable fuels. CBE sells 100% recycled kiln dried wood fuel bricks, made with no binders or additives. Producing less than 1% ash, each ton of wood bricks has an equivalent heating value of a cord of average firewood, but takes up far less space.
