Workshop 3: Adoption of New Wood Heater Technology and Integration with Other Renewables
Motivation
The third workshop of the Wood Heater Design Challenge discusses the adoption of new wood heater technology and integration with other renewables, delves into barriers to adoption and how wood heaters could play a more long term role as a renewable energy option. What technologies are most likely to be incentivized? How can they interconnect with other renewables at the household level, or the community level? Where will wood heat be the most price competitive?
What topics will be covered:
- Advantages of integrating heat pumps and wood stoves
- Integrating advanced wood heaters in renewable energy portfolios
- Carbon impacts of wood and pellet heating
- Emerging technologies in Europe and the US
- Status of DOE funded stove R&D projects
- Retrofit emission controls on the residential level
Additionally, an update from some recipients of the DOE BETO wood heater research FOA will be given by the teams!
Workshop Format
This 2-day workshop will include short technical presentations followed by breakout sessions that discuss specific topics related to wood heater designs. The breakout discussion topics include:
Day 1: In-Lab Measurement Methods
- Session A - Adding automation to a wood heater Q&A
- Session B - Impact evaluation: Quantifying health, energy & climate impacts for biomass heat deployment
Day 2: In-Field Measurement Methods
- Session C - DOE/National Lab Q&A Tech Slam, 5th Design Challenge, and Future Events
- Session D - Sustainable adoption: Integrating wood heaters into renewable energy portfolios
The workshop will be interactive and participation is highly encouraged. This event will be held virtually using vFairs virtual event platform. To accommodate participants from different time zones, each day will begin at 11 a.m. EST and end at 2 p.m EDT. Each day will conclude with an optional networking event for attendees to meet others interested in related R&D areas and foster relationships to help advance wood heaters.
