The Wild Center Pioneers Renewable Heating System

The Wild Center has commissioned an innovative heating system that will use a pioneering combination of renewable energy solutions.   Installed in time for this winter, a highly efficient wood pellet boiler integrated with a solar tube hot water system, will supply much of the hot water required to heat the 54,000-square-foot facility in Tupper Lake.  The new boiler system, supported by NYSERDA, represents the first highly efficient, commercial-sized, gasification wood-pellet boiler of its kind and size manufactured and installed in New York State.
