Peregrine Energy Corporation

Biomass

Biomass-fired energy production is defined as burning plant or animal matter to yield heat, which then can be utilized to drive electric generators or engines. Peregrine Energy is developing biomass-fired generation facilities that burn wood, i.e., pre-commercial tree thinnings and waste logging residues (treetops and limbs) that are harvested as part of a forest management plan.

The Opportunity

Peregrine Energy has developed a comprehensive plan for designing, constructing and operating multiple biomass-fired generation facilities. Recent legislation signed into law at various state levels has created an immediate opportunity for the development of renewable energy and in particular, biomass-fired generating facilities.

Peregrine Energy Experience

Peregrine Energy's management team has spent the last twenty-five years in the independent and renewable power industry. Peregrine Energy has financed, owned and operated hydroelectric plants, coal-fired cogenerating facilities, gas-fired boiler facilities and electric boilers. A biomass-fired facility design and its operations are very similar to the coal-fired plants Peregrine Energy has owned and operated in the past. Peregrine Energy has negotiated over twenty-five power purchase agreements through the years with investor-owned utilities, electric cooperatives, and municipal power companies. Peregrine Energy understands the risk-adverse nature of the electric utility industry and believes it can work closely with these companies to meet their renewable energy objectives.
