The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $3,000,000 Project Grant to Durgin & Crowell Lumber Co Inc. under the Wood Utilization Assistance program (CFDA 10.674) on December 30, 2024. The grant funding will support the development and installation of a combined heat and power (CHP) system at the Durgin & Crowell wood processing facility in Springfield, New Hampshire. The CHP system is expected to be completed by June 4, 2029 and will utilize wood biomass feedstock to generate heat and electricity, improving the facility's energy efficiency and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This project aligns with the Wood Utilization Assistance program's objectives to expand wood energy markets, promote forest health, and deliver economic and environmental benefits through innovative wood utilization technologies.
