The installation of biomass boilers at four Indiana prisons are projected to save the state $36 million over 10 years.
The Indiana Department of Correction says it dedicated the first of the new boilers last week at the Pendleton Correctional
Facility, about 20 miles northeast of Indianapolis. The boilers use scrap wood purchased from local businesses for fuel instead
of natural gas.
The other state prisons due to receive the biomass boilers are the Indiana State Prison in Michigan
City and the Plainfield and Westville Correctional Facilities.
