Baltimore Biomass is a buyers cooperative that makes local, sustainably grown biomass available to its members for use as heating fuel.
Baltimore Biomass currently supplies its members with #2 shelled corn for use in corn-burning and multi-fuel biomass stoves. Our corn is grown locally using sustainable practices, by Maryland farmers, and transported directly to our centrally located facility at 2800 Sisson Street in mid-town Baltimore City. We will have our urban grain bins in place later this year, which will allow us to further reduce our per bushel price, and to make corn available to members 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Pre-season Memberships Announced Baltimore Biomass announced today that it would now be accepting what they are calling ¨Pre-season Memberships¨ until August, 15th 2009. Basically what this means is that people interested in becoming members of Baltimore Biomass can reserve their spot in the buyers cooperative now with out having to commit all of the money required up front. Current members of Baltimore Biomass, who have an account in good standing, are billed in late August just before the beginning of the heating season. At that time those members are required to make a deposit so that Baltimore Biomass has the money it needs to make the first bulk purchase of Corn for the heating season. Those members who already have an account balances from the previous heating season are guaranteed the place in the buyer´s cooperative for the following season. When we send out their bill they a responsible for having $300.00 for biomass, and their $25.00 yearly membership fee available in their account. If they had $75.00 left in their personal account form last heating season, they send us a check for $250.00 and then they are set to start the year. A member´s personal account acts as a debit system allowing that member to pick up Biomass (corn) at their convenience and the cost of that Biomass is subtracted from their personal account. We are now offering individuals and businesses that would like to secure there spot in the Baltimore Biomass Buyers Cooperative the same benefit. A Pre-season member can pay a $100.00 deposit now (a $75.00 one time application fee + a $25.00 membership fee) and then we will bill them for there biomass money just before the heating season in Late August. Once you have paid your $100.00 fee, you´re a member and your spot is guaranteed. You can down load a Baltimore Biomass membership contract and the Baltimore Biomass Buyers Cooperative rules here. Baltimore Biomass Membership. Older News Stories April Sustainable Energy Meet Ups $1,500 Tax Credit for Biomass Stoves 4 reasons you should burn corn to heat your home. Corn is renewable, climate neutral, economical and made in the USA. Corn is a crop. When you want more, Farmers plant more. With proper land management practices, it can be grown sustainably by the same local farms year after year. No war needed. Burning corn is climate neutral when it is harvested sustainably. That means that corn only releases as much CO2 when it is burned as it absorbed when it was grown, which makes it a climate-friendly fuel source. Our Corn is contractually grown by Maryland Farmers using sustainable practices for a small carbon footprint and net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Families who burn corn are saving hundreds of dollars per year on heating. Corn produces more Btu per dollar than electricity, oil, natural gas, or propane. That is the simple truth. Even with today´s soaring grain prices, Corn used as fuel to heat your home still costs 71% less then electricity, 64% less than propane, 58% less than oil and 32% less then Natural Gas. Click here to see our August 2008 cost comparison chart. Corn-burning and multi-fuel stoves are a great way to help reduce our nations dependency on imported fossil fuels. Corn is grown here in the USA not imported from a foreign nation. It keeps Farmers working and helps keep our economy strong. Our corn is grown right here in Maryland by local family owned farms, so the money you spend goes right back into our local economy. Joining Baltimore Biomass helps you save money, protect the environment, support our local economy and our national security. We would love to have you as a member.
