Biomass heating is when normal fossil fuels like gas, oil or even electricity are replaced with wood fuel like logs, wood chips or wood pellets.Fossil fuels like oil and gas cannot be replenished. When they have been burned and they release harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Electricity is commonly produced by burning fossil fuels. Biomass is a renewable source of energy meaning new trees can be planted to replace the ones which have been used as biomass fuel. Although burning biomass releases CO2 to the atmosphere, this is offset by the CO2 absorbed in the original growth of the biomass fuel making this source of fuel carbon neutral and good for the environment.A biomass boiler is a boiler designed to burn solid fuels classed as biomass. Such boilers can be supplied to burn every form of biomass from woodchips, wood pellets or logs to waste agricultural materials such as straw and grain husks, olive kernels, rice and the dust from any of these including sawdust.Boilers need to be designed to burn specific materials, with any given boiler able to burn a limited range of biomass. Biomass systems come in a range of sizes and typically burn wood pellets, wood chips or logs. They provide space heating and hot water to domestic, commercial and industrial users. Modern, efficient biomass heating systems are computer controlled, easy to maintain and operate and are common throughout Europe and Scandinavia.A biomass boiler is an ideal replacement for an existing boiler powered by gas, oil or LPG. They operate in a similar way totraditional boiler systems, are easy to clean and maintain, are reliable, they improve efficiencies, significantly reduce costs and are better for the environment.The only main difference between a biomass boiler and a conventional boiler system, is the delivery of fuel.
