Practical Biomass Heat (50 -500kW) Workshop (in England)

EVOWORLD will host a workshop in association with the Green Business Network to provide practical advice for commercial operators, farmers and rural property owners interested in installing a biomass heating system. Talks will be given on how to finance the project, cost savings and incentives, fuel supplies and managing your own fuel, and of course a good look at the technology and what to consider when planning a biomass installation.

 

The workshop will be free and will include site visits to 2 local biomass boiler installations.
