As a zoo or other kind of animal or nature conservation project your location is likely to be rural and potentially off gas grid. Here we explain what biomass is and why you should install a biomass boiler at your zoo.
As such, it is most likely that your heating needs are presently being met by an oil-fired boiler (or boilers) supplied by a large oil tank or tanks on site, refuelled by a large tanker from time to time.
This was certainly the case in the zoos with whom we have already worked.
What exactly is biomass you ask, and why would it be beneficial to our zoo?
Biomass is a renewable energy source, certified carbon neutral and thus environmentally friendly. It demonstrates your zoo’s commitment to a greener, cleaner planet and should fit naturally into your overall mission of preservation and conservation.
Biomass boilers predominantly burn wood pellets as their fuel, these are made from dried and compressed waste wood or from sustainably managed and harvested forests grown specifically for the purpose.
This means that they burn at a predictable rate and with a predictable energy output.
As such, biomass is the only truly viable heating alternative to oil boilers presently in existence for any off-gas-grid location.
And that is why you should use biomass at your zoo.
Biomass boilers are larger than conventional oil boilers and require more space. However, they can easily be plumbed into existing heating systems and do not require wholesale changes throughout your facilities. In fact, they are one of the few new heating solutions that can adequately work with older legacy heating infrastructures.
Because of their larger size the first step is always a site survey to assess the suitability of your location for a biomass installation, understand your heating needs and thus allow our engineers to recommend the best and most suitable biomass boiler for your needs.
Once this has been completed and adequately prepared your biomass installation can be set up and begin supplying your heating needs for years to come.
