There are many reasons for choosing Biomass fuel:

• High energy content wood pellets have two thirds the energy content of coal.
• Virtually carbon neutral.
• Cheaper - a lot cheaper! Significant savings on most fossil fuels.
• Sustainable a local indefinite supply is available.
• New generation technologies boilers, stoves and burners supplied by TRECO are up to 96% efficient.
• Biomass ash is full of nutrients, don't waste it layer it on your compost heap.
• Helps our rural economy, providing local business opportunities and rural jobs.
• Locally sourced. There is no region in the UK that cannot be a producer of biomass, therefore the environmental impact of transport is low.
• Woodland, forestry and agriculture provide the population with leisure and recreation opportunities.
• Huge reduction in the atmospheric pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, which contributes to acid rain.
• Reduced landfill requirement and therefore reduced landfill gases, such as methane.

Biomass fuels come from a number of sources:

Virgin wood from forestry, arboricultural activities, or wood processing.

Specialist high energy agricultural crops such as miscanthus and willow.

Agricultural residues such as rape straw.

Industrial and domestic waste, particularly recycled wood.

TRECO sell a range of boilers that can utilise all sources. However, virgin wood in the form of pellets, chips or logs is the most common.
