Biomass Heating does not have
to be expensive or complicated
AFS Biomass offers end-to-end solution
for renewable or green energy systems
to businesses, institutions and homes.
From initial design and planning,
right through to installation and on
going maintenance, our service is truly
holistic.
We design, supply, install and maintain
complete biomass boiler systems for
commercial, domestic
and district heating applications (where
several buildings are heated
by a single boiler).
We pride ourselves on good advice,
on our service, and the efficient, no
nonsense installation of the right system
for the job. We can provide everything
you need from retro-fit systems to
bespoke energy centres, from fuel stores
to fuel supply.
Our biomass boilers will integrate
with any existing heating systems,
including under floor heating, domesti c
hot water and with other renewables
such as solar.
Why Biomass?
In a heating context,
"Biomass" is the
name given to
organic material that
can be used as fuel.
The new generation
of "multi-fuel"
biomass boilers
supplied by AFS are
up to 96% efficient
and can burn wood
logs, wood pellets,
wood chips, cereals and miscanthus.
There are many good reasons for
using Biomass Fuel
Biomass is sustainable, renewable,
virtually carbon neutral and offers
CO2 savings of up to 96%, compared
to heating oil. (Source; Biomass Energy
Centre)
Biomass is cheaper than fossil fuel.
Wood pellets are 25-30% cheaper than
heating oil and wood chip is 40-50%
cheaper. (Source; Biomass Energy
Centre)
Buying biomass fuel locally reduces
the environmental impact of transport,
helps your local economy, provides
local business opportunities and
rural jobs.
Excellent return on investment,
especially if replacing electricity,
heating oil or LPG.
"Thinning" - the selective harvesting
of a forest's annual growth - not only
provides biomass fuel, but is necessary
to improve the growth rate of trees and
to support biodiversity.
Woodland, forestry and agriculture
provide the population with leisure and
recreation opportunities.
Less woody biomass going to landfill
means less methane and reduced CO2
emissions.
Biomass ash is full of nutrients, so
makes great compost for your garden.
