Wood fuelled boilers

Wood burning systems, unlike other renewable energy
sources, emit carbon dioxide. However, as the wood
fuel is cultivated, it absorbs the same amount of carbon
dioxide as is released when burnt. As such it does not
add to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

To be eligible for grant funding, wood-fuelled boiler
systems must comprise the main heating system of
the building, and can be run on logs, wood chips or
wood pellets. Care should be taken to ensure that
appropriate provision for supply and storage of fuel is made.

Conventional multi-fuel room heaters/stoves
(i.e. log/coal) and kitchen ranges (e.g AGA) - are not eligible for funding.
