What is biomass heating? pelletheizung-vorteile.jpg
What forms of biomass are used in such heating systems?
Biomass comes in different varieties.
- Pellets
- Chips
- Logs
Depending on which form of wood is used, the technology of the heating system also differs. For example, there are biomass heating systems specifically for pellets as well as the other variants. By choosing a particular boiler, you are also committing yourself to an energy source.
What are the advantages of pellet heating?
The great advantage of wood over fossil fuels is that it is considered climate-neutral. For example, combustion only releases as much carbon dioxide as the plants have previously bound from the air. For this reason, wood pellets are among the CO₂-neutral energy sources.
Unlike burning logs, pellet heating systems are fully automatic. The electronics control the firing process. The system conveys fuel independently via a transport screw or suction system. Wood pellets are subject to strict standards. Unlike wood chips, this allows for almost emission-free combustion, and the heating system is much less prone to breakdowns.
Pellet boilers are ideal for older buildings with high flow temperatures. Therefore, they are particularly suitable as a replacement if an oil heating system was previously installed. In these cases, the previous tank room can be used as a pellet store.
