Jan 23, 2011 · Having biofuel capacity, Fish said, would inevitably lead to a biomass industry in Wisconsin, because new jobs would be created to bring biomass products to the plant for burning. The biomass boilers burn wood chips and pellets, switchgrass and corn stock to create the energy required for heating and cooling over 300 buildings on the UW campus.Learn More
Nov 12, 2014 · During the fall of 2010, work started on a $250 million dollar upgrade to convert the university's coal-powered Charter Street heating plant into a natural gas and biomass plant. Replacing the existing boilers was a significant part of the project. But the project scope changed in 2011 when the biomass portion of the project became a budget Learn More
Plant boiler capacity will be increased from 800,000 lbs/hr to 1,100,000 lbs/hr. Coal boilers 1 through 4 (500,000 lbs/hr) will be retired and gas/oil boiler #5 (300,000 lbs/hr) will be retained. Two new gas/oil boilers #6 and # 7 (225,000 lbs/hr each) and one new biomass boiler #8 (350,000 lbs/hr) will be installed.Learn More

Oct 25, 2010 · John Harrod, director of the UW-Madison physical plant, said the new gas boilers will be on-line by next fall while the biomass boiler will be in place by winter of 2012 or the beginning of 2013. That means the Charter Street plant's coal pile …Learn More
This operation has 45 heating units, some forced air and some boiler units. Full conversion to prairie biomass heat would require approximately 440 acres of prairie. For this facility, conversion could be done in stages by replacing a few heating units at a time as prairie is planted in the region to supply biomass feedstock for the heaters.Learn More
Jan 21, 2011 · Walker Officially Stops UW Biomass Boiler Project Wisconsin Ag Connection - 01/21/2011 As expected, Governor Scott Walker killed plans this week to convert the boiler equipment at the Charter Street Heating Plant on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus to run on natural fuels such as wood chips and paper pellets.Learn More
Feb 06, 2014 · The Charter Street Heating Plant is responsible for keeping the 65,000 people who work and study on campus in more than 300 buildings comfortable. That's roughly the population of Janesville, Wis. This is a view of one of a gas-fired boiler at the Charter Street Heating Plant. Most people probably don't think much about it, but over the Learn More
