Why use biomass instead of fossil fuel?

30 Apr 2021

The integration of a biomass system is relatively simple. In most cases the systems are retro fitted and replace a fossil fuel boiler. The biomass boiler replaces the existing fossil fuel boiler, but the downstream heating system will remain the same, so there is no need to replace the radiators or whatever emitters are in place.

 

There are three main advantages in switching to biomass:

Fuel savings - Heating with biomass can be a lot cheaper. Where there is an existing wood supply, you can see savings of around 80% against oil after factoring in costs for processing the wood.

Using biomass can qualify you for the governments Renewable Heat Incentive. This pays you every quarter for the heat used for 20 years. This not only pays for the initial capex but provides a healthy return over the lifetime.

It is considered carbon neutral as releases the same amount of CO₂ when burned as the trees have absorbed during their life.
