Biomass heating for businesses, public sector & charities ESTABLISHED hwenergy.co.uk
HWE NON RURAL 2014_Layout 1 12/05/2014 16:41 Page 2 A window of opportunity More and more organisations are turning to biomass to save money on the cost of fuel, reduce carbon emissions and receive payments from the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). 50%+RHI Save up to 50% on heating costs and receive quarterly payments through the RHI for the next 20 years. Cost and carbon savings: Renewable heat on demand from HWEnergy. HWEnergy have been helping organisations switch to biomass since 2003 and are one of the largest biomass heat specialists in the UK. We design, supply, install and provide ongoing maintenance and heat supply for commercial biomass systems of all types. Switching to biomass allows you to: Reduce heating and hot water costs by up to 50% Achieve an excellent rate of return on investment Save carbon emissions Use locally sourced, sustainable fuel Avoid price fluctuations. Biomass heating systems are backed by over 50 years of development across Europe. Modern systems are extremely user-friendly and deliver operating efficiencies of over 90%. Biomass heating operates in a similar way to oil or gas-fuelled systems, but uses wood chip or pellet fuel sourced from sustainable forestry plantations. With heating and hot water accounting for over 80% of the total energy demand for a typical building, installing a wood fuel heating system delivers one of the most effective ways to drive down energy costs and reduce a building s carbon footprint.

The RHI provides an incentive payment on every kwh of biomass heat generated, ensuring a very attractive return on your investment.

Speak to us for latest position. The benefits in numbers Biomass heating can provide you with carbon savings and reduced heating costs using a natural fuel source. Typical returns on investment are shown to be from 12% to 25%. Just one of many examples we have of this in action is shown below. The example is a Scottish secondary school, converting from oil fired heating to biomass metered heating from HWEnergy. The investment is delivering combined RHI income and fuel cost savings of over 55,000.00 per year, with carbon savings of over 300 tonnes a year.
