Biomass Heating

Why Consider Wood Fuel?

  • A renewable fuel and CO2 neutral;
  • Heat is one third of UK energy equation;
  • Security of supply and perhaps local;
  • Price stability;                                                               
  • A mature and highly efficient technology suitable from 5kW to 50MW;
  • Space heating and process steam.
RET Screen
The RETScreen Clean Energy Project Analysis Software is a unique decision support tool developed with the contribution of numerous experts from government, industry, and academia. The software, provided free-of-charge, can be used worldwide to evaluate the energy production and savings, costs, emission reductions, financial viability and risk for various types of Renewable-energy and Energy-efficient Technologies (RETs). The software (available in multiple languages) also includes product, project, hydrology and climate databases, a detailed online user manual, and a case study based college/university-level training course, including an engineering e-textbook.

Automatic Wood Heating

  • Fully automatic feed
  • Automatic ignition
  • Capacity control
  • Remote system control and monitoring
  • Typical efficiency 90% +
  • Very low ash remains – c.0.5-1.5%
