The Grand Falls Hospital in New Brunswick, Canada, is using a new pellet-fired heating system. According to an article on the Atlantic Farm Focus website, it's one of the first public buildings in the area to use the new energy-efficient system.
“This project supports local wood industries and will allow for some significant savings for the hospital in the long term,” Health Minister Hugh Flemming said in the article.
The projected savings are $4 million over a 20-year period for the Grand Falls facility. The plant is projected to reduce annual fuel oil consumption by 300,000 liters while creating an annual locally-produced pellet fuel requirement of 650 tons.
