Peregrine Energy Corporation

Biomass

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

The Opportunity

Recent legislation signed into law at various state levels has created an immediate opportunity for the development of renewable energy and in particular, biomass-fueled generating facilities.  Peregrine Energy has developed a comprehensive plan for designing, constructing and operating multiple biomass-fueled generation facilities.  Peregrine employs innovative and well-proven technologies in combustion and anaerobic digestion to convert woody biomass, animal waste and other biomass resources to energy.

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-fueled 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.
