Biomass boilers are extremely efficient and can achieve over 90% efficiency – dramatically more than conventional boilers. Sophisticated control systems and burn efficiency means that heat and fuel are not wasted and there is very little waste/ash..

Logs are the most common of wood fuel available in the UK. Log boilers, when burned at full capacity can have efficiencies of up to 92%.

Biomass is an opportunity for consumers to take control of the energy they use and not be constrained by the fluctuating oil prices we encounter year on year.

The satisfaction that can be found from growing your own food or building your own house can extend to supplying your own wood fuel.

Any wood can potentially be used for wood fuel as long as it is dry. The worst quality timber makes the best sense as wood fuel. Converting trees into wood fuel that have quality and therefore value for furniture/building is not sensible.

A rule of thumb for wood fuel that appears to be useful is that under normal use for each 1 kW of boiler output rate - 0.4 tonnes of dry wood is needed per year.

Therefore...
