Biomass: Heating Your Home with Corn
With fossil fuel prices on the rise, many people are concerned about skyrocketing heating bills. An increasingly popular alternative is using biomass, and surprisingly, corn is emerging as a favored fuel.
Rethinking Corn: Not Just for Popcorn Anymore
As highlighted by President Bush, America faces a significant dependence on oil. Coupled with the environmental damage caused by fossil fuels, it's clear we need alternatives. Biomass, which involves energy from burning organic materials like animal waste and surplus crops, is gaining traction.
Despite global hunger, there's an ironic surplus of corn in the U.S., which makes it an excellent biomass fuel. Corn kernels are energy-packed, and when used in heating systems, they provide heat comparable to traditional furnaces at a fraction of the cost.
Biomass corn energy utilizes dry, shelled corn. Unlike the edible variety, it doesn't need to be high-quality?"any dry, fiber-free corn works.
How Corn Heating Works
Like wood-burning, corn is used in a fired stove. But forget about shoveling it in manually. Today, shelled corn is delivered to your home and stored in a tank. When the heating system needs fuel, a thermostat detects the drop in temperature, opens a valve, and releases a pre-set amount of corn into the furnace. This process generates heat, which is then circulated through your home's duct system.
Using corn as a heating source can cut costs significantly?"by about 50% compared to oil, 30% compared to coal, and 70% compared to natural gas. If you're relying on utility companies for your heating, switching to corn can save up to 75%.
Initially, using corn might seem unconventional. However, it's actually the most researched furnace type online, reflecting its growing popularity and practicality.
