Solid Biomass Assurance Scheme

HETAS have introduced a biomass fuel quality scheme covering logs, wood chip, pellets and briquettes. The scheme will enable the public to easily identify quality wood fuel suppliers and this will increase customer confidence that there is a reliable supply chain for a safe fuel that will burn efficiently with their appliance.

Benefits of the scheme:
1. The wood fuel customer will to be assured that he is buying the right product for their installation, both safe and efficient.

2. Producers can demonstrate that they have good processes in place to guarantee deliveries of the right product.

3. Product labelling is consistent across suppliers which enables the consumer to make an informed choice.

4. Producers can attain positive differentiation for their premium product.

5. The scheme promotes a good image for wood fuel heating.
