Disadvantages of biomass boilers;

(1) The initial cost of a biomass boiler boiler is higher than conventional oil or natural gas boilers.

(2) Biomass boiler boiler systems usually require a separate storage area than oil or natural gas fueled boilers, so they require a lot of space.

Biomass Boiler Benefits

(1) It is a renewable energy source. Biomass boiler energy is derived from organic matter, plant or animal manure that is burned to provide energy, such as heat and electricity. Because they have a living source, these products may not make biomass boilers renewable energy.

(2) Better for the environment than fossil fuels. Burning a biomass boiler releases carbon dioxide but captures the growth of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide released from fossil fuels is released into the atmosphere and is harmful to the environment. Many energy sources are difficult to control carbon dioxide emissions, these may lead to harm the ozone layer and increase the impact of greenhouse gases.

(3) Reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Using biomass boiler fuel as an alternate source to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels is better for the planet and more cost effective.

(4) Easily accessible. Biomass boilers are cheap and readily available source of energy. If replaced by trees, biomass boilers can be a long-term, sustainable source of energy.

(5) Reduce landfills. By burning biomass boiler energy, we can waste what is harmful to the environment and turn it into something useful.

(6) Renewable Heat Incentive. By installing a biomass boiler boiler, you can get under the Renewable Heat Incentive, which is a government-backed financial incentive to promote the use of renewable heat for the domestic and commercial markets. The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive is designed to advance the uptake of renewable heating technologies to reduce carbon in UK homes, helping to meet renewable energy targets and save money.
