This report is a pre-feasibility assessment specifically tailored to the Jersey Shore Area School District outlining whether or not a biomass heating system makes sense for the District from a practical perspective. This study analyzes three different biomass scenarios. The alternative biomass scenarios envision installing a new woodchip heating system that would serve different combinations of Jersey Shore Area School District buildings: 1) A biomass system that serves the High School only; 2) a biomass system that serves the Elementary School and Junior High / Middle School; and 3) a biomass system that serves all three buildings.
