SPONSORED CONTENT iomass specialist and boiler manufacturer Hargassner celebrates its 20th anniversary in North America with the announcement of major investments in building its local infrastructure. The company has opened a new North American headquarters, invested in local warehousing and hired local staff as part of its overall commitment to meet the needs of its American and Canadian customers and distribution partners. B HARGASSNER INVESTS IN NORTH AMERICA “Hargassner is committed to the North American biomass heating market and we are excited to announce these new investments as evidence of that commitment to supporting our customers and distributors” Stefan Kopp, CEO, Hargassner North America. Facing rising fuel costs Canadians and Americans are searching for sustainable heating options for their homes and busi-nesses. With eco-friendly, carbon-neutral fuel options, biomass boilers are becoming an increasingly popular and economical heating solution. Biomass material is made of residual wood from domestic forests and the sawmill industry – material that would usually otherwise go to waste. Instead, the material is repurposed into biomass fuel in the form of wood pellets, wood chips or sim-ply processed into usable lengths of wood logs. Using biomass as a fuel source is not only more cost effective than burning oil or gas, it also supports the local economy and recycles waste wood in a sustainable matter. WHY BIOMASS? Hargassner offers an individual biomass boiler system scaled to meet almost ev-ery level of demand -from single-family homes up to larger-scaled installations for farms greenhouses, hotels and industry. Critically, all boilers in the range are de-signed to deliver lower heating costs versus conventional oil and gas burning systems. The company offers solutions from 32 kW (108,800 BTU/h) to 330 kW (1,122,000 BTU/h) and in cascade set-ups (multiple boilers connected together) up to 2 MW (6,700,000 BTU/h). TAILORED HEATING SYSTEMS As a global player Hargassner boasts 40 years of experience building biomass boil-ers with more than 170,000 satisfied clients worldwide. Importantly, the company’s bio-mass boiler systems are officially certified and approved by the U.S. EPA and the CSA.
