Wood Chip Biomass Boilers

In recent years there has been a huge emphasis on conservation in terms of reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Not only does this make us less dependent on oil producing countries at the centre of political unrest but it also provides for a greatly reduced carbon footprint. It has long been known that the mindless burning of fossil fuels has created a rift in the ozone layer, but for years there has been little the home or business owner could do about it short of installing solar panels to produce some of the electricity being used on location.

Not all consumers in a given location can avail themselves of hydropower or wind turbines which means that there are few remaining options for heating businesses and homes. Previously only gas, coal or electric could fuel central heating units except in older structures that had wood burning stoves. Regrettably, a whole different set of nuisances arose as it was next to impossible to heat entire buildings with a wood burning stove capable only of producing heat for the room it was in. As a result of ground-breaking technology in biomass, a solution has been achieved.

Now it is possible to power central heat with biomass boilers and some are even multi-fuel compatible. For example, there are wood pellet and log boilers and there are wood chip and log boilers which are readily available, affordable and backwards compatible with many conventional central heating systems. Consider the fact that wood is readily available and there will never be a need to be reliant on Middle East, politically volatile countries for a source of fuel. Not only does this capability provide easier access to fuel but these systems burn cleaner which significantly reduces the impact on the environment.

Since cleaner burning biomass boilers use renewable resources for power, a good percentage of them are entitled to financial government incentives of the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme available at this time in the UK. Currently two different programmes for renewable energy can be taken advantage of which include the highly publicised Feed in Tariffs Programme ideal for small scale generation and also the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme which was previously mentioned. Hydropower, wind turbines and solar power can also qualify for the UK’s FIT Programme but many businesses and homes are not situated in such a way as to take advantage of the sun, wind or water.

On the other hand, any building whatsoever can benefit from biomass boilers which can produce hot water and heat all seasons of the year, regardless of where the structure is located. Buildings without southern exposure cannot benefit from solar power and those buildings without access to naturally flowing water or wind will not be able to use those options either. As a result of these limitations, increasing numbers of people are looking towards enerfina.com for the ground-breaking technology inherent in biomass boilers. It is still possible to benefit from government incentives in England, Wales and Scotland when utilising technologically advanced biomass boilers.
