Reduce your environmental impact
There are a few different sustainable energy solutions available to commercial businesses. One which can greatly reduce your environmental impact is biomass heating, with a 96% reduction in CO2 over fossil fuels.
Biomass fuels are known as ‘carbon neutral’. The pellets/woodchip absorb same amount of carbon when they’re growing as they emit when they are burnt. In effect, they cancel each other out which is what makes them carbon neutral.
Reduce your fuel costs with biomass
Installing a biomass boiler in a commercial space also delivers significant fuel cost savings.
The savings that can be realised are particularly significant on large-scale heating systems, but financial benefits can also be gained on smaller installations.
Biomass: the components
There are four main components to a biomass heating system: a boiler, pellet fuel store, buffer tank and a heat distribution system.
As each biomass heating installation is unique to each business and, therefore, the premises/grounds, your specialist installer will design and build your boiler and pellet store to work within your surroundings.
Hybrid solutions
Some businesses may have already begun their journey towards being carbon neutral and so could already have a sustainable heating system. It is possible to adapt a biomass solutions to work with your existing heating system, thereby creating a blended solution.
Servicing your Biomass boiler
If you already have a biomass heating system, as with any energy solution, it is important to service it regularly – typically once a year, certainly if you are claiming RHI. A biomass boiler annual check should be carried out by a qualified technician registered with HETAS who will undertake a full internal clean and inspection, replace all worn components and lubricate any moving components.
In addition to the annual servicing, biomass boilers should be cleaned regularly, ensuring they are kept free of ash.
A well installed and maintained biomass boiler should last for 15-20 years so it makes sense to keep it clean and regularly serviced!
