we are looking into the greener form of energy available and wonder if anyone has first hand knowledge of Bio Mass? It s a compressed wood pellet system

I would really appreciate some reviews if anyone has taken this step already?

thanks

    Bio Mass systems are good but they need to be run at full burn to be truly efficient so require a thermal store this stores all the excess heat normally in large water tank  this is connected to heat exchangers allowing heating and hot water to be used as required.

    I have been involved as a consultant of a number of these over the years from domestic to industrial steam generating systems.

    You will also need to be sure you can get a regular supply of pellets at a good price because you may be saving money but the cost of transporting them may still cost more in CO2 damage!!

    If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
