Biomass Boiler
Improve operational efficiency, add business resilience and reduce energy bills
Commercial biomass is now an extremely viable investment, due in the large part to the Government’s RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive) scheme. Biomass systems installed for businesses can significantly lower energy bills, reduce CO2 emissions and potentially earn a healthy income.
Business Benefits
From care homes and social housing through to hotels and restaurants, carbon management, sustainability metrics and consumer demand for greener organisations are on the rise.
About Biomass
Large scale biomass systems require a fairly large amount of space, but they can be housed outside or in a building, provided there is a sufficient access for fuel as most large scale units have hoppers, with fully automated fueling systems, that draw the biomass from large stores nearby. Although biomass systems and the processes they use produce and release some CO2 into the atmosphere when combusted, it is no more than the amount absorbed by the plants during their lifetime (with the exception of fuel transportation). Biomass fuel is therefore regarded as being a low carbon technology, especially if the biomass fuel used is from sustainable and local sources. The way Commercial biomass boilers burn fuel and the biomass fuel they use make them as convenient to use and have installed as fossil fuel boilers are.
Financing Your Biomass System
If you have a business with significant heating demands then an investment in a large scale biomass system could be a sensible, viable and profitable option. Depending on several factors, you may even qualify for the government renewable heat incentive. An assessment will need to be carried out in order to ascertain what initial capital investment and ROI will be needed in your specific circumstances
