Biomass Fuels • Biomass fuels are carbon neutral, therefore exempt from the Climate Change Levy, unlike fossil fuels. • Long term future of biomass is guaranteed, unlike fossil fuels. • A saving of around 15% (using pellets rather than fossil fuels) year on year. • The installation of biomass boilers can be eligible for a grant, unlike fossil fuel boilers. • Far less residue or ‘clinker' to remove, unlike solid fossil fuels. Example of fuels available to burn in HKRST boilers Woods: Sawdust Wood Chip Chipped Waste Wood Pellets Cereals: Miscanthus Sunflower Cake Sunflower Rapeseed Waste Grain Etc Straw burning boilers also accept: Rape Cake Straw Pellets Straw Example of fuel available in HKRSV (high moisture content) boilers Woods: Sawdust Wood Chip Chipped Waste Wood Cereals: HKRSV is not suitable for burning Cereals Estimated average gross calorific values of fuels : Domestic Wood = 14.5 GJ per tonne Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) ‘as received' = 10.6 GJ per tonne Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) ‘dry' = 18.6 GJ per tonne Straw = 15.0 GJ per tonne Poultry Litter = 13.5 GJ per tonne Waste grain= Refuse Derived Waste = 18.6 GJ per tonne Home Coal = 31.0 GJ per tonne Anthracite = 33.8 GJ per tonne LPG = 49.4 GJ per tonne Gas Oil (Derv) = 45.6 GJ per tonn |
