The use of biomass in heating systems is beneficial because it uses agricultural, forest, urban and industrial residues and waste to produce heat and electricity with less effect on the environment than fossil fuels. This type of energy production has a limited long term effect on the environment because the carbon in biomass is part of the natural carbon cycle; while the carbon in fossil fuels is not, and permanently adds carbon to the environment when burned for fuel. Biomass Boilers are very environmentally friendly: they burn wood pellets made from compressed waste sawdust or from raw materials sourced from sustainably managed forests in the UK. The sawdust is a waste product from sawmills and classed as a renewable, carbon neutral fuel source because trees absorb as much CO2 when they are growing as they emit when they burn. Biomass Pellets Pellets are made from a wood material which is dried and compressed to a low moisture level with no additives. The resulting fuel has a high calorific value or heat content and is clean, burning easily and efficiently to give a constant heat. Biomass boilers differ from solid fuel boilers as they are fully automatic, using advanced controls to regulate the amount of fuel being delivered to the boiler to match the heat demand. The process produces ash, so most Biomass boilers require regular cleaning and maintenance, however the boilers installed by Reliable Renewables are self-cleaning and only need a manual clean once a year.
Costs, savings and financial support Costs For boilers, an automatically fed pellet boiler for an average home costs between £9,000 and £21,000, including installation, flue, fuel store and VAT at 5%. Manually fed log boiler systems can be slightly cheaper. Pellet costs depend mainly on the size and method of delivery. If you have room for a large fuel store that will accept several tonnes of pellets at a time, delivered in bulk by tanker, you can keep the cost down to around £220 per tonne in most parts of the UK. Logs can be cheaper than pellets, but costs depend on the wood suppliers in your local area, as they cost a lot to transport. If you have room to store more than a year’s worth of logs you can save money by buying unseasoned logs and letting them season for a year. Search for wood fuel suppliers in your area on the Biomass Suppliers List. Savings Savings in carbon dioxide emissions are very significant - up to 15.7 tonnes a year - when a wood-fuelled boiler replaces a solid (coal) fired system. Financial savings are more variable - if you replace an older gas heating system with a wood-burning system you might save up to £225 a year, but if you are replacing an old electric heating system you could save as much as £990 per year.
