Wood is any form of untreated matter which can be used as a energy source. This includes wood and waste wood resources, agricultural residues and fuel crops. Biomass is part of the current carbon cycle, and does not place additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere like fossil fuels. Due to this reason there are now quite a few financial incentives offered to install biomass boilers. Also wood boilers are a pro-active way to reduce climate change. Over the next few years experts expect to see further increases in the costs of fossil fuels that have been seen in the last few years.

Therefore the costs of heating your home with oil or gas will continue to rise. Installing a biomass boiler now, such as in the video below can generate substantial fuel cost savings. As the price of gas and oil continues to rise, this means more money is sent overseas to Russia and the Middle East. As we at this time are in an economic recession, now more than ever it is crucial to support the national and local economy. A biomass boiler can use fuel formed locally from local resources. Wood energy pellets can be manufactured from many different local resources including biomass, grasses, straws, fuel crops and other agricultural wastes. Using local resources to produce fuel pellets and using the pellets locally generates local jobs and keeps biomass pellet energy prices low due to reduced raw material and pellet fuel transportation costs. Local jobs can be produced in raw material range, wood pellet fuel production and pellet distribution. Local biomass pellet production can generate long term jobs and cheap fuel. Different biomass energy pellets have different combustion results.

Some wood fuel pellets generate more ash than others. Though the pellets that generate more ash are also much cheaper. Not all wood boilers can use all types of wood fuel pellets however. Some wood boilers can only use fuels with a low ash content, however this is not reflected in the price of the wood boiler. To help consumers purchase more fuel flexible biomass boilers, at PelHeat we have developed this guide to highlight the features required to burn all types of wood fuel pellets. At PelHeat we produce a variety of different types of biomass fuel pellets and conduct test burns in the wood boiler you can see in the video above. Through our experience we have noted the features to look out for when buying a wood boiler. A fuel flexible wood boiler, which can handle higher ash content fuels will not necessarily cost more, but will save you in energy costs. Pellet stoves such as Breckwell pellet stoves have existed since the 1970’s, however at that time oil and gas were cheap and plentiful, and no one had even heard of global warming. Well times have changed, and now pellet stoves are the fast growing form of home heating solutions. They address the issues of high oil and gas prices, and the need to diminish carbon emissions. Biomass pellets and other biomass energy pellets are carbon neutral, therefore there are now tax incentives for installing pellet stoves such as Breckwell pellet stoves.
