GREEN YOUR CENTRAL
HEATING: USE BIOMASS
BURNING BOILERS
THESE SYSTEMS BURN PELLETS MADE FROM COMPRESSED WASTE SAWDUST TO HEAT
WATER AND PROVIDE CENTRAL HEATING.
THE PELLETS BURN SURPRISINGLY CLEANLY, LEAVING BEHIND LITTLE ASH, AND
EMIT LITTLE SMOKE AS THEY BURN. A WEAKNESS IN THE SYSTEM IS THAT THE
MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE PELLETS BOTH PRODUCE CARBON
EMISSIONS, AND THE PELLETS ARRIVE PACKED IN LAYERS OF PLASTIC. NONETHELESS,
THE NET GAIN IN TERMS OF CO2 IS SIGNIFICANT, AND WILL INCREASE AS THE
TECHNOLOGY BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD.
YOU CAN GET A PELLET-BURNING BOILER SYSTEM FOR £5,000-10,000, DEPENDING ON
CAPACITY. YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR FUEL AND DELIVERY, BUT A TYPICAL SYSTEM
CAN PRODUCE £750-1,000 WORTH OF ENERGY PER YEAR, AND SAVE SIX TONNES OF
CARBON DIOXIDE COMPARED TO A TRADITIONAL BOILER.
