Biomass

Domestic Biomass Boilers

Biomass is used in the form of wood chip, pellets and logs. It is a renewable, low carbon fuel that is already widely available throughout the UK. Its production and use also brings additional environmental and social benefits. Correctly managed, biomass is a sustainable fuel that can deliver a significant reduction in net carbon emissions when compared with fossil fuels.

 Biomass boilers provide an effortless supply of heat, by using a readily available energy source, in the form of wood. They are a brilliant heating solution for today and the future.

Biomass is a brilliant cost-effective heating solution, that can provide heat and hot water to your home. It can be particularly beneficial to those users that have a high heat usage requirement, such as large farm houses or stately homes. The cost of heat generated by biomass, is significantly lower than the cost of heat generated by fossil fuels, this is likely to decrease further with the demand for fossil fuels.

They are particularly beneficial if you are wanting to reduce your carbon footprint, and to dramatically reduce your reliance on utility providers. By producing your own heating from a sustainable source, your property will be more self sufficient and environmentally friendly, not to mention help reduce household bills.

By installing a biomass boiler into your home, it will be financially beneficial. The financial incentive to invest in wood fuelled systems has been further enhanced by the launch of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).

The purpose of this government backed scheme is to encourage investment in renewables. For eligible systems, this guarantees a fixed and index-linked income for every KWH of heat generated. This will provide users with a valuable stream of income, as well as significant reductions to the cost of heat generation. For many users, the combination of lower heating costs, as well as income from the RHI, makes investment very compelling.

The RHI payments are paid in two parts, an upfront payment, paid when you are accepted into the scheme, and an ongoing incentive payment which is paid annually. The upfront payment is a set amount based on the technology and it’s size and the ongoing payment varies depending on your heat requirements and use.

 

Biomass Benefits
 
  • Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) - Both Commercial and Domestic properties can benefit from the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme. The RHI scheme ensures guaranteed payments for each kWh of heat generated by a biomass boiler.
  • Environmental Benefits - A significant reduction in new carbon emissions, far less than associated with fossil fuels.
  • Cost Savings - Biomass fuels can be sourced locally, reducing financial costs and increasing the environmental benefits. E.g. 2 tonnes of woodchip produces the same power as 1000 litres of oil at half the price.
  • Economic Development - The energy crop market is a positive development for the UK, an economic incentive to manage woodlands, generating new jobs and business opportunities for farming and the countryside.
