biomass
boilers are a green alternative to a traditional gas fired boiler. a biomass
boiler utilises a sustainable energy source .
there are various uses and
forms of fuel dependent upon the region where the boiler is installed and what
is available from local sources.
the source fuel needs to be local to the site and
investigation into the local supply chain is required. it is pointless
reducing emissions by utilising a biomass boiler if a long journey is required
by the delivery vehicles.
the
sustainable supply of the fuel has to demonstrate that this option is a carbon
balance from growing of the fuel to delivery through to site.
the
crop to be used as a fuel is typically, willow, birch, bamboo or large grasses
and has to be quick to grow.
the fuel takes the form of wood
pellets, wood chips, briquettes and wood logs.
the site implications of
any biomass fuel option requires large on site storage of fuel material and
access for delivery to a convenient position.
this requires
careful thought with regards to position of the boiler house.
