In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in New Hampshire, the purpose of this project is to create a decision making tool (a Roadmap) that will help guide a community (which may be a municipality, educational institution, industrial park, housing project or other candidate) through the host of issues attached to planning for and implementing a district heating and/or combined heat and power system. A successful Roadmap tool will result in greater local/regional energy self reliance, greater ability to contain rising energy costs, provide energy reliability, maintain markets for local wood biomass, provide local economic and social benefits and reduce greenhouse gasses.
