Wood chips: crisis-proof fuel

Wood chip heating in the UK

Heating with wood chips is CO₂-neutral environmentally friendly

Compared to other biomass and especially fossil fuels, wood chips are considered to be the cheapest form of heating. Only domestic waste wood is used to produce the chips. Thanks to a high degree of automation, wood chips can be produced cheaply and with little effort.

The farmers can then use the wood chips to heat their own homes and supply other facilities – a win-win situation. Thanks to the advanced technology of the HARGASSNER wood chip boilers, you can heat cheaply and energy-efficiently in the UK – with the highest efficiency and energy class A+.

Wood chips

Special tip:

Before being chipped, the residual wood is air-dried. Farmers and wood processing companies can then use the chips for their own heat production and/or to supply customers and other facilities.
