✦ Synopsis

The UK Carbon Trust is calling for businesses to make a "massive switch" to biomass heating in its report -Biomass Heating, A Practical Guide.

Biomass heating offers significant cost savings in parts of the UK that are not currently on the gas grid. For example, using wood or straw can provide cost savings of 2-4 p/kWh relative to the use of heating oil. A biomass system generating 1600 MWh of heat could therefore save up to £50,000 per year on fuel costs relative to an existing oil-based heating system. The costs of biomass fuels also tend to be much less volatile than fossil fuels.
