Greenwood Clean Energy, Inc. is a privately held company located in Redmond, Washington that manufactures wood and biomass central heating systems. In 2009, a team of entrepreneurs and industry veterans developed and distributed woody-biomass-fueled heating appliances for home and light commercial use. In 2010, The Clean Energy Company, LLC (CEC) acquired the 'Greenwood' brand, certain assets and intellectual property of Greenwood Technologies. CEC also assumed the Greenwood name and became Greenwood Clean Energy, Inc. and began marketing its appliances under the 'Greenwood' brand. Greenwood Technologies, LLC ceased operations in February 2009[citation needed]. In 2012, Greenwood launched the Frontier Series indoor wood boiler, a 3rd generation wood gasification system.
Emissions
Greenwood is an advocate for responsible wood-burning and has been participating with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and numerous state air quality agencies to encourage the use of more efficient wood boilers instead of the older models. As an example, Greenwood Clean Energy's Frontier CX heating appliance meets the requirements for efficiency and emissions outlined in the Washington State Department of Ecology standards of less than 4.5 grams of particulate matter per hour using the Douglas Fir test fuel.
