Biomass boilers offer factories and the industrial industry an ideal environmentally conscious method of generating heat. In this blog post, we explore the top five reasons why biomass boilers are an excellent heat source for factories.
1. Renewable energy source
One of the most significant reasons to opt for a biomass boiler is their use of renewable energy. Unlike fossil fuels, which contribute negatively to the environment, biomass is considered as carbon neutral as the carbon dioxide released during combustion is offset by the carbon absorbed during the growth of the biomass.
2. Cost saving and stable pricing
The expense of burning biomass material such as wood chip and logs is significantly less than the cost of fossil fuels, making biomass boilers a great way of cutting your energy bills. The cost of fossil fuels can also be highly volatile, which has been particularly evident over the last couple of years. However, on average biomass fuels tend to be much more stable. This stability can provide factories with a more predictable and manageable long-term heating costs, contributing to financial sustainability.
3. Reduced carbon footprint
Biomass boilers contribute significantly to the reduction of carbon emissions in comparison to gas or oil heating systems. This allows factories to improve their sustainability and show customers/investors that they are actively making steps towards a greener future.
4. Improved efficiency
Biomass boilers are known for their high efficiency in converting fuel to heat. Modern technologies, such as auto-feed systems and advanced controls, can also enhance the efficiency of biomass boilers. This increased efficiency translates to lower energy consumption and reduced operational costs for factories.
5. Utilise waste wood and pallets for fuel
One of the unique advantages of biomass boilers is the ability to repurpose waste materials for fuel. Factories can capitalise on waste wood and pallets generated during their operations, turning them into fuel for their heating and cutting down their heating costs. It also eliminates the need for waste removal, helping your business to cut down on even more costs!
