D - I don't believe they do anymore, but could be wrong. Another aspect I'm thinking of is the portability factor of the S2, importance of which is noted in the article posted by troutkinglives.
"The company's technology is currently being trialed at universities in Wisconsin and Iowa and several large power generators in the Midwest are interested in cofiring the briquettes with coal, Cole says. In addition, Renew Energy Systems is working with C.F. Nielsen, to develop a portable briquetting system. The company will soon receive its first unit, which will initially be used to process wood waste on-site on private land in north-central Minnesota. "The portability of this equipment is a huge factor," Smith says. It transcends the economic challenges of transporting feedstocks to a processing site. "We can go after piles of biomass that have been sitting around for years," he says. It may also provide a solution for managing diseased and quarantined wood like the stands that have been infested and killed by the emerald ash borer or the west pine beetle. This wood can't be transported for fear of further contamination but, "there's a lot of interest in converting diseased and quarantined feedstock into a viable fuel," Smith says. "This is part of the reason why we're looking to put this in a 20-foot container and be mobile. We can take the machine to the matter."
The size of that baby KDS had me envisioning one in my basement like a standard furnace; strike that - how about one in every house in the country for supplemental energy. Maybe 10 years from now, just call Sears and they will install one.
