Biomass Boilers - Servicing and Maintenance

Biomass Heating Systems

Biomass heating systems use recently living materials as a fuel source which means that a number of readily available fuels in the UK can be used as a replacement for fossil fuels. The most common sources of biomass fuel in the UK and Ireland is chipped wood, pellets and wood waste. Because biomass is created from recently living sources, any CO2 that is produced in the burning process, is almost identical to that absorbed during the growth period.

Compared to fossil fuels that release CO2 into the atmosphere which has been confined within the Earth for millions of years, biomass fuel produces no additional CO2, making it a renewable carbon-neutral fuel source.

 Installing a biomass boiler system to heat your business or property means that you will be able to use a choice of materials as a fuel source. Biomass fuel is sourced from any recently living organism which includes wood chip, wood pellets, wood waste, grain, or logs.

Whether you require a fully automated boiler system or a manually operated boiler, biomass systems can be provided in a variety of complexities according to your specific requirements.

The advantages of installing a biomass boiler include:

• supporting additional planting and management of woodland

• Biomass is a chosen growth sector in the UK

• reduction in carbon dioxide output

• opportunities for Combined Heat and Power (CHP) projects and district heating

• avoid increases in Landfill Tax and Climate Control Levy

• increasingly competitive with fossil fuels
