Woodfuel Heating

Produced by the National Non-Food Crops Centre (NNFCC), these two reports look at the use of wood for heating. They are technical reports but contain a lot of information that may be of use to teachers or post-16 students who are researching the subject and require in-depth information. The two reports cover heating for domestic, commercial and public buildings. They look at issues such as:

  • technology of the wood-burning systems
  • fuelling options
  • boiler systems
  • planning issues
  • supply of materials
