We have also invested in a second hand generator that runs on biofuels to drive our key production facilities, including drying (when it is necessary), at the same time helping to minimise our end-to-end carbon footprint (a.k.a. embodied energy). Of course, bracken-based biomass fuel is carbon neutral in itself and 100% naturally occurring and sustainable, brining into play land that has never before played a productive role in agriculture apart from very small scale composting. Further more, its management as an integral part of biomass heating fuel production results in increased biodiversity helping to establish new fauna and flora.
We have had all the lab tests back and Bracken as a biomass fuel has been proven to have a clean bill of health and, at the right levels of moisture, is an excellent sustainable source of heat and power
We need to hit a 12-15% target range to optimise the physical qualities of pellets and, at the same time, their calorific value and clean burn characteristics. We are also building a simple drying facility as we have found that obtaining the correct moisture content is even more important than we had first thought. Two versions of the Moisture Meter…
