Woodbourne Airbase wood energy feasibility study

Research and reports
21 July 2009

An opportunity has arisen for the NZDF/RNZAF to improve the economics surrounding the operation of the Woodbourne Air Base heating system.

This two-part report evaluates the opportunity to convert or replace coal fired boilers to woody biomass. Part one of the report refers to the feasibility of the conversion of the current coal fired boilers, and part two discusses the feasibility of a new boiler or boilers to replace the current two coal fired boilers.
