Skanden  
We make local green energy simple and trouble-free
About Us/History Skanden Energy provides biomass energy throughout the US. We are the only importer of fully automated heating systems designed specifically for biomass. We guarantee a long-term fixed price for wood pellets, through long term contracts of up to five years.

Our founder and President, Laura Colban, has worked in the energy sector in the U.S. and Norway since 1989, beginning as a staff attorney and working her way up to General Counsel and VP of Operations. She has worked for Fortune 500 European energy companies, including StatoilHydro. She has assisted in developing pellet mills, renewable energy power plants and traditional energy projects, such as gas pipelines and offshore oil fields.

Skanden Energy has assessed dozens of European biomass boiler, burner and other equipment manufacturers and is now working with a select handful of manufacturers who produce a wide array of systems, from residential to 15 million BTUs for district heating ("district heating" entails the use of a single heating system to heat residences, businesses, government and other facilities in a particular geographical area, or "district"). Skanden's manufacturers have proven track records of over twenty years of research, development and production of biomass equipment. They collaborate with universities and other top academic institutions on optimizing energy efficiency and emissions reduction, and have received funding for lab equipment and other R&D resources from these institutions. Their equipment is also tested by independent labs for efficiency and emissions to insure compliance with European regulations which are significantly more stringent than US regulations.

We can provide heating systems for any size facility, no matter how large. We also have units that combine biomass and solar energy. If you have an unusual need, we can find a suitable system for your facility.
