Our first stop on the Tour III group yesterday was KWB, a company that manufactures biomass heating systems. Basically these are various size heaters using wood chips or wood pellets for fuel.

I spoke with David Pock, the man who gave us an overview of their company philosophy and products. It seemed like a stretch to fit this visit into an IFAJ Congress since it was just a product manufacturing facility. However, David says that farmers are customers and that he believes that as the demand for wood chips and pellets grows it can become a new source of income for farmers who would grow what he calls, “energy wood.”

Here’s out group gathering outside just before leaving the plant.
