We will add to this list below on a regular basis
Includes information on wood pellets and wood chips as biomass fuels. Also data on comparative prices per kWh (kiloWatt hour) of wood chips and wood pellets with natural gas, oil, bulk LPG and electricity at June 2008 prices, showing savings of between 41% and 65% of wood pellets over oil, LPG and electricity per kWh.
Note that Bracken pellets have a superior performance (inc. higher calorific value) and savings are calculated to be upwards of 5% greater than wood pellets.
The woodland management charity in Wales. An extremely comprehensive website full of practical and technical information including the Heat Energy Cost Calculator and Comparator prepared back in 2005 but still applicable today.
One of several commercial websites with useful comparative information on various types of biomass fuels.
Website for the new Department for Energy and Climate Change. This website has to be consulted in conjunction with BERR's website (for energy) and DEFRA's website (for climate change) as the full integration has yet to be completed.
There are many more useful sites and future upgrades to our website will feature additional links including links to grants available to help switching costs to biomass boilers from fossil fuels for consumers, public sector organisations and businesses.
We shall also include a comprehensive list of local suppliers of biomass boilers that we have satisfied ourselves are trustworthy.
