Biomass Heating Systems
Biomass heating systems are a renewable energy source, generated from burning wood, plants and other organic matter, such as manure or household waste. It releases carbon dioxide when burned, but considerably less than fossil fuels.
Biomass heating systems burn wood pellets, chips or logs to provide warmth in a single room or to power central heating and hot water boilers.
A stove burns logs or pellets to heat a single room – and may be fitted with a back boiler to provide water heating as well. A boiler burns logs, pellets or chips, and is connected to a central heating and hot water system. A wood-fuelled biomass boiler could save you up to £1,350 a year compared to an old electric heating system
Benefits of A Biomass Heating System
The cost of installing a Biomass heating system really does depend on a number of factors including the size of your property, type of system and additional work required.
For biomass boilers, an automatically fed pellet boiler for an average home costs between £9,000 and £15,000, including installation, flue and fuel store.
The Key Benefits of Installing a Biomass Boiler
- Biomass is also considered a carbon-neutral form of energy because the same amount of carbon dioxide that is released by the burning process is later re-absorbed by growing plants. Not only it supplies us with energy, but it also helps with the disposal of wood and other materials’ waste
- Replacing a coal or electric heating system with a biomass boiler can help you reduce your carbon dioxide output by up to 9.5 tons, annually
- You may be eligible to receive grant funding through The Boiler Upgrade Scheme and access £6,000 towards your installation
- Biomass energy is a great way to dispose of waste wood. That means the system is even more sustainable if you burn your own wood instead of having it delivered
- Prices of traditional fuels like oil and gas are steadily increasing, and this tendency is not expected to change anytime soon. Biomass needed for pellet boilers, for example, has much more stable prices, so you won’t see your bills increasing sharply. Moreover, prices for biomass are close to gas prices but much cheaper than electric heating and solid fuel, so a biomass boiler is an ideal replacement for those kinds of systems
- y installing a Biomass boiler, you will be helping to reduce your carbon footprint
