Beyond just regular forestry waste, the biomass system uses undergrowth, trees and other byproducts of forest clearing for fire prevention. The system is fueled by waste wood pieces that are turned into chips, then fed into the boilers. Biomass boilers heat ten of the Teslin Tlingit Council's largest buildings. Hogan says the biomass boilers save the community about 120,000 litres of fuel each year. But the Teslin Tlingit Council isn't stopping there.
