You may already know that biomass is considered an environmentally friendly source of energy. That is because unlike coal, which needs much longer than a lifetime to re-generate, biomass is considered a renewable source of energy because it can be obtained relatively quickly by replacing or growing new plants or trees.

Biomass is also considered a carbon-neutral form of energy because the same amount of carbon dioxide that is released by the burning process is later re-absorbed by growing plants. Not only it supplies us with energy, but it also helps with the disposal of wood and other materials’ waste.

Biomass boilers could benefit from the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) which may recoup some of the installation costs.
