Biomass Boilers: A Sustainable Solution for UK Farms
Farms across the UK are increasingly switching to biomass boilers due to lower running costs and the availability of renewable fuel sources. For off-grid farms that rely on oil heating systems, biomass boilers offer a viable alternative, making use of resources like wood pellets, chips, or logs.
At Treco, we’ve supplied and installed biomass boilers for farms of all sizes, from small-scale agricultural operations to large estates. Whether you need to heat barns, chicken sheds, or multiple buildings, biomass systems provide a versatile solution that helps reduce reliance on oil. Many of the farms we’ve worked with chip their own wood, allowing them to control their fuel supply. (See our blog on our Red Shred for more info)
Biomass fuels generally offer more stable pricing compared to oil, giving farmers better control over heating expenses. What’s more, Treco can provide second-hand biomass boilers with Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) tariffs attached. The RHI is a government-backed scheme that rewards farms for generating renewable heat, providing regular payments that can help pay back the initial investment over time. Many farms have found that these payments, along with lower fuel costs, make biomass a financially attractive choice.
