COMPANY OVERVIEW

Community Energy Systems LLC (CES) is a biomass energy project developer specializing in biomass energy projects in the Western US. CES’s mission is to develop ecologically sustainable, community-based biomass solutions that build energy self-reliance for communities, tribes, and businesses. CES employs a partnering strategy that grows the existing capacity of project partners to maximize the potential for financial returns, asset ownership, and ecological benefit for project participants, stakeholders and their surrounding environment.

CES has developed extensive expertise in the wide range of biomass technologies now available world-wide. Within this broad constellation of sometimes confusing options, CES has identified the most viable technologies for a range of applications ranging from small 150-300kW projects to larger multiple by-product facilities in the 40-50MWe scale. CES’s team includes partners with extensive experience in the fields of power engineering, project planning and management, industrial construction, fuel resource assessment and evaluation, and co-locating energy park development.

A core strategy of CES projects is the integration of biomass heat and power applications through the same production facility, thereby substantially improving the efficiency over conventional steam turbine based production facilities. A central element in this design strategy is the development of modular components that enables plants to be scaled up or down as fuel supply circumstances change. CES plant design also integrates infrastructure allowances that enable the integration of new technology as it becomes commercially viable. A primary example is the substantial potential for cellulosic fuel production as fast-pyrolysis or other biofuel technologies reach full viability in the next few years.
