Biomass is typically the use of wood chip, wood pellet, waste wood, logs as fuel for heating appliances such as boilers, stoves, combined heat and power (CHP), district heating and cookers. Less popular biomass fuels are straw, miscanthus, rape pellets, corn, sugar beet and sugar cane.

All of these fuels are suitable for residential and commercial properties, offer significant carbon savings when compared with fossil fuels, and can provide both space heating and domestic hot water. Clean Energy Consultancy provides a feasibility study for those clients considering the biomass option which determines the specification and suitability of an installation taking into account the existing buildings, storage and capital costs. From this we can advise on the most suitable system, annual operating costs and the carbon emissions associated with the system.
