New Design Guide Demystifies Biomass

The Energy Crops Company has just made it much easier for architects, specifiers and builders to install wood-pellet fired heating systems with the launch of its free Wood Pellet Design Guide.

The guide provides information on all the practical aspects of wood pellet heating, including system design, access, delivery, storage, and installation, as well as a summary of relevant planning guidelines and financial support available.

Graham Hilton, Managing Director at the Energy Crops Company explained: "Global warming attracts a lot of attention from protesters and pundits alike, but it is the construction industry that is required to turn government promises and planning requirements into action.

"Wood pellet heating is the most economically sound, reliable and effective way of cutting carbon emissions, meeting planning requirements, and securing long-term, stable fuel supply. This guide is designed to answer all the logistical and practical questions about using wood pellet heating systems, giving decision-makers the details they need to make informed choices."
