Rural entities across Alaska are looking for alternative sources of energy as a solution to unsustainable fuel and power bills.
The Gateway School District, headquartered in Tok, appears to have found its answer to both in the woods. In October 2010, the district installed a wood biomass-fired heating boiler system in Tok School. Before installing the boiler, district Superintendent Todd Poage said the school burned an average of 55,000 gallons of heating oil every year. …”When we just had the boiler section running in 2010 we were saving between $6,000 and $7,000 per month as compared to utilizing heating oil,” he said.
