Community Biomass Energy (CBE)

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.
