Phasing Out Fossil Fuels?

Renewable fuels such as hydrogen, renewable natural gas, biomass and waste streams are gaining in popularity. Learn about the wide variety of renewable fuel options and how Cleaver-Brooks boiler solutions can best meet your goals.

View Strategies For:

Regardless of the type of renewable fuel you want to burn, we have developed innovative technologies to help you transition your boiler from fossil fuels.

We have customers burning ethanol, biodiesel, biogas and hydrogen fuel, among others. Unlike fossil fuels, which are limited in supply, biofuels are produced from renewable feedstocks and can be sustained indefinitely.
Green hydrogen can replace fossil fuels in electricity and industrial processes. In fact, green hydrogen is touted as the backbone of a sustainable CO2-free energy sector.
We also offer dual-fuel burners, popular with customers that produce a renewable fuel as a byproduct, but the quantity only partially supplies the load for the plant.
