PRESENT. AROUND 3.5p/kWhr LONG SHELF LIFE

WET WOODCHIP- ABOVE 30% M.C. VERY LARGE BOILERS & POWER

STATIONS MORE DELIVERIES PER ANNUM MORE CONTAMINATION SHORT SHELF LIFE DUE TO

COMPOSTING & MOULDING PRICE SIMILAR TO DRY WOODCHIP

WOOD PELLETS IDEAL FOR SMALLER BOILER

INSTALLATIONS LESS BULKY MORE EXPENSIVE – AROUND 4.5p/kWhr CAN BREAK DOWN IF GET DAMP OR WET LIMITED SHELF LIFE

BOILERS INSTALLED – 10KW TO 600KW

CHOOSING A BOILER

WHAT SIZE DO I NEED AND WHEN DO I NEED HEAT?

HOW SOPHISTICATED DO I NEED? FUEL STORAGE AND DELIVERY? BACK-UP SERVICE? GO AND LOOK AT INSTALLED EXAMPLES ASK QUESTIONS DOES IT COMPLY WITH THE LOCAL

ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA?

HEAT SUPPLY CONTRACTS

FACTORS TO CONSIDER COST OF BOILER AND INFRASTRUCTURE PRICE FOR FUEL COST OF DELIVERY COST OF MAINTENANCE COST OF CLEANING/DE-ASHING SINKING FUND PROFIT
