Biomass boiler
energy systems
Woodwise supports and promotes
the use of biomass boilers. A biomass boiler system
generates heat principally by combustion
of wood, although they can utilise a variety of
organic residues and wastes. The latest-generation
biomass boilers are very clean, producing a
low-soot, colourless exhaust gas. Because wood fuel
can be characterised as carbon-neutral, biomass boilers
provide a sustainable, efficient energy solution.
Biomass energy systems have been in widespread use
throughout mainland Europe for some time and are now
receiving active support from the UK government.
They have been adopted by many local authorities.

The reasons why we
support wood fuel:
 |
Wood fuel can replace fossil fuels (oil, coal and natural
gas) in heating when biomass boilers and heaters are used.
|
|
|
As a renewable energy source it is available all year round
and is not dependent on external factors such as the sun or
the wind.
|
|
|
Wood fuel is ‘carbon neutral’, releasing the
equivalent amount of CO2 in combustion as absorbed when
it grew. Wood is replaced in turn from sustainable and renewable,
CO2-absorbing new tree growth.

|
Woodwise produces only premium quality wood fuel to CEN and ONORM standards:
- Chipped to CEN P16 M35 or G30 W35 standards
- Approved by Wood Energy
- Low moisture for more efficient burning
- No MDF, contaminated or treated wood
- Seasoned hardwood and softwood
- Offcuts are returned to site without using extra transportation
