Euroheat' s biomass guide explains how it can be used in a domestic setting

(02/07/2010)

Essentially, biomass fuel is wood, in the form of logs, pellets, chips, or wood waste. As a fuel, it is virtually carbon neutral, making it an exceptionally environmentally friendly fuel for heating the home. Biomass heating is sometimes perceived by consumers as more of a commercial heating method. Euroheat hopes to debunk this myth with a consumer guide about biomass heating, which shows that biomass heating is also ideal for the home.

The user-friendly guide explains exactly what biomass heating is, and how it can be used in a domestic setting to cut down on energy bills and resolve many of the environmental issues concerned with domestic heating. It covers all aspects of biomass heating, showing consumers how to change their heating system to something cleaner and greener, including the type of boilers required, installation advice and information about biomass fuel.

Euroheat uses the guide to show that biomass heating can be used in most domestic settings, from a simple traditional-style woodburning stove for heating single rooms to more complex central-heating and water-heating systems.

The guide explains how changing from standard electric, gas or oil heating systems to biomass heating can significantly reduce a family’s carbon footprint. Euroheat leads by example, demonstrating a wide variety of its stoves and heating systems at its training centre in rural Herefordshire.

By replacing its existing oil and electric heating systems there, it estimates to have already reduced its carbon footprint by up to 90%. This is a statistic which Euroheat wants consumers to know about. The consumer guide explains exactly how biomass heating reduces our carbon footprint and aims to improve public awareness about this fabulous, green way of heating the home.
