What is Biomass?
Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. It most often refers to plants or plant-based materials which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass. Wood remains the largest biomass energy source to date.
Wood based Biomass comes in various forms. The two main types are woodchip and pellets. Harp Renewables Biomass energy systems can be supplied to use either woodchips or pellets. This provides Harp Renewables with the flexibility to present their clients with the best biomass system for their site.
To date, we have used the Twin Heat Biomass Boiler in the majority of our site projects. Although there are various Biomass Boiler providers available, we find that the Twin range provides us with the best solutions with its robust and reliable nature.
What to expect
Harp Renewables Biomass energy solutions are available:
- Fully containerised or bespoke build.
- Revolutionary Harp biomass technology
- Fuel storage included.
However, where outside space is not readily available, Harp specialists can work on a custom build Biomass system that can be incorporated into existing plant rooms. An onsite survey is required before any custom-made biomass can be provided.
Biomass applications may attract RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive) which are available in Northern Ireland, UK, Scotland & Wales. Further details may be found here: Non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) . A list of certified woodchip and pellet suppliers can be found on the UK Government website.

CS Industrial Biomass Boilers – TwinHeat.
The TwinHeat CS INDUSTRIAL range provides an effective solution for commercial heating. Three models provide an output range of 90 – 200kW, which are fed by an external storage silo such as the TwinHeat Quattro or Walking Floor. TwinHeat boilers automatically burn Wood Pellets, Wood Chip & Cereal Grain.
The Biomass Boiler is fitted with an additional draft fan as standard and can be equipped with automatic de-ashing, automatic cleaning of heat exchanger, and a telephone modem that sends a text message in case of a fault alarm.
What’s required?
This system requires a 3 phase 400 volt – 32 amps electrical supply. All the TwinHeat range has been tested and granted approval by the Danish Technological Institute in accordance with DS/EN305-5.
