The recently announced exclusive distributorship of the famous MCZ brand by Specflue in the UK has been tangibly underwritten by the 4th Carbon Budget target of 100,000 biomass boilers in the UK by 2020 and rising to 1 million by 2030.
This relates to the sector’s meaningful and positive collaboration with Government on the decarbonisation of domestic heating in the UK by 2030.
Biomass boilers generate heat for space and water heating through the combustion of organic matter. Domestic installations, with efficiencies of over 90%, are typically fuelled by wood pellets.
Wood pellets are a carbon neutral fuel as the carbon dioxide released through combustion is equal to or less than the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere during the growing process (photosynthesis).
To achieve legally binding CO2 reduction and decarbonisation targets the 4th Carbon Budget recommends the deployment of 1 million domestic biomass boilers by 2030.
Solid support under the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme is now necessary to kick start the domestic biomass boiler market and enable that potential to be realised.
Notable and relevant MCZ product portfolios include advances in the popular Compact range and the unique “Still” concept which ensures total operating silence via a continuously geared motor, specially designed shock absorbers and a pellet tank completely separate from the smoke fan for maximum relaxation. The heat is diffused naturally by a convection transmission method and an attractive large flame creates the pleasant effect of burning wood.
