part 3.

WOOD, BIOMASS& SOLID MINERAL FUELSPREFACEPREFACEThe selection of the right type and size of fuel is essential for satisfactory operation of the appliance. For this purpose reference is made, at the heading of each section of Part 1 Appliances, to the appropriate fuel type: Wood, Biomass & Solid Mineral Fuels, listing suitable approved fuels, with any special note made in the Appliance Feature Icon. Most of the appliances listed will burn a wide range of fuels, although some are designed to burn a speci� c type. The appropriate fuel producers or fuel distributors should be consulted to ensure fuel is suitable for the appliance. Smokeless fuels not listed under Approved Fuels are, from time to time, authorised for use in Smoke Control Areas by Defra. Refer to the Defra website smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk.

Petroleum coke is not recommended by HETAS for use on solid fuel burning appliances because its use can result in serious damage to grates and other appliance components in the fuel bed area. However, a number of products which contain petroleum coke or are blends of petroleum coke with other fuels have been tested and approved. For these fuels, approval is conditional on the manufacturer applying and maintaining stringent product control. Some appliance manufacturers restrict the use of these fuels.

In no circumstances should HETAS Approval of such fuels be taken as implying a general approval of briquettes or blends containing petroleum coke or as giving approval of the use of petroleum coke on its own.

WOOD & BIOMASS FUELSBiomass is a generic term used to describe material that is derived from living or recently living organisms. In fuel terms, biomass is plant matter which is converted into heat by combustion. For the domestic market in the UK, the main raw material for biomass fuels is wood. This is sourced from indigenous forests and also imported from continental Europe and elsewhere. Depending on the end use, this can be either hard wood or soft wood.

There are a number of wood/biomass fuels generally available:• Wood logs – cut and split timber naturally seasoned or kiln dried.• Wood briquettes – a reconstituted fuel produced from sawdust or sawmill residue.• Wood pellets – a reconstituted fuel from sawdust extruded though small dies.• Wood chips – a lower grade fuel produced by chipping wood into small pieces.• Hog fuel - similar to wood chip but processed using blunt tools such as flails and hammers.

The importance of biomass as a fuel lies in its status as being classi� ed as Carbon Lean or Low carbon fuel. Renewable wood and biomass operate in what is known as a closed carbon cycle. The growing tree absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere using sunlight in the process known as photosynthesis. When the tree matures and is cut down for use as a fuel, this CO2 is released back into the atmosphere during combustion. Provided additional trees are planted to replace the ones cut down, then the CO2 released can be re-absorbed by these new trees as they grow and the process is accepted as being sustainable. Put simply, biomass takes carbon out of the atmosphere while it is growing, and returns it as it is burned.

The major concern in terms of combustion and the release of products during combustion is the moisture content of the wood. Freshly harvested timber can have moisture contents up to 60%. Burning wood with these levels of moisture causes a number of problems so before wood is burnt it must be dried or seasoned;

FUEL QUALITY SCHEMESHETAS and Woodsure have been heavily involved in the development of fuel standards as members of the solid fuel technical committees, and have also been active in promoting fuel quality and raising the awareness of the importance of burning appropriate fuels to improve the e� cient operation of appliances and limit the release of particle emissions helping to improve air quality.

WoodsureWoodsure, a wholly owned subsidiarity of HETAS, is an independent not for pro� t organisation that has worked with the wood fuel industry to raise standards and awareness of wood fuel and the fuel supply throughout the UK. Woodsure and HETAS work together to deliver the Woodsure schemes.

There are two schemes available to Woodfuel suppliers:• Woodsure assured quality woodfuel• Woodsure Ready to Burn (R2B)

Woodsure assured quality woodfuel: a scheme for wood fuel producers to demonstrate they can repeatedly process raw materials to a known fuel specification.

For further information on either scheme please contact: Woodsure, Severn House, Unit 5, Newtown Trading Estate, Green Lane, Tewkesbury, Gloucs. GL20 [email protected] 01684 278188 www.woodsure.co.uk

ENplus®ENplus® quality certi� cation is a major step towards establishing wood pellets as a widely used energy source. The numerous National Standards and Certi� cations have been replaced by one uniform system based on the ISO 17225-2 standard for wood pellets. The Certi� cation scheme was adopted by the European Pellet Council in January 2011 and thus enjoys the support of large parts of the European pellet sector. A key advantage of ENplus® is that pellet quality is managed throughout the entire supply chain from production, storage and transport all the way to the end consumer.

The quality requirements for ENplus® pellet producers and traders who wish to certify are laid down in the ENplus® Handbook. Producers and Traders are subjected to independent audits of their processes and samples of product are also tested to ensure compliance with the standards.

The ENplus® scheme ensures that there is a chain of custody from the Producer through the Trader to the end user. Any bulk delivery of pellets (even if produced by an ENplus® Producer) cannot be called ENplus® pellets if delivered by a non-registered Trader. Similarly only ENplus® pellets bought from an ENplus® Producer can be delivered by an ENplus® Trader to an end user as ENplus® pellets. Non ENplus® pellets cannot be called ENplus® just because they have been delivered by an ENplus® Trader.

HETAS is the Certi� cation Body for ENplus® in the UK and all applications from UK based pellet producers and ENplus® Pellets Traders must be made through us. The UK Pellet Council holds the Licensing rights for the scheme in the UK. HETAS can only accept applications from Producers or Traders based in the UK. Applicants not based in the UK should apply to their own National Pellet Council or directly to the European Pellet Council.

A complete listing of all certi� ed Producers and Traders can be found on the EPC and UKPC websites

www.pelletcouncil.eu www.pelletcouncil.org.uk

Fuel Quality Schemes

Woodsure Ready to Burn Woodsure Ready to Burn (R2B): a scheme promoted by Defra and the industry as a whole: a scheme aimed at domestic fuel for immediate use, promoting the benefits to the environment and the appliance to only burn legal, dry wood with a moisture level up to 20%.

Finding the Right Fuel Supplier

FINDING THE RIGHT WOOD & BIOMASS FUEL SUPPLIERThe HETAS website has an extensive search facility to enable consumers and retailers to � nd all the types of solid fuels they are looking for. The Woodsure website also has a listing of approved Woodfuel providers. By entering their postcode, users can search for the various solid fuel types (log, pellet, briquette, chip and hog), returning listings of their local and national suppliers, and the applicable fuel quality scheme (Woodsure, Woodsure Ready to Burn and ENplus®).

Sourcing fuel from one of the accredited suppliers in the listing gives the consumer con� dence that they are buying the best quality fuel for their appliance, and that it will function as the manufacturer intended. For fuel manufacturers, being part of these fuel quality schemes gives con� dence that they are supplying fuels appropriate to the intended appliance and reduces the likelihood of unfounded allegations of fuel related system performance. Added value can also be acknowledged and rewarded.

Appliance manufacturers are supportive of fuel quality schemes because using the right quality fuel ensures that their equipment can operate reliably and any problems can be readily diagnosed.

Many of the appliances listed in this Guide burn wood logs which if from a renewable source are an environmentally friendly fuel that receives favourable treatment in Building Regulations ADL and its companion SAP.

For this advantage to be gained in smoke control areas the appliance must be Exempted by Defra. Such appliances have the

icon within their listings in Part 1 - Appliances Burning Solid Mineral Fuels & Wood.

To meet these statutory clean air requirements these wood log burning appliances should be � red with dry wood which has been seasoned – often the Statutory Instrument (SI) requires “� rewood which has been split, stacked and air dried”.

THE BIOMASS SUPPLIERS LISTThe Biomass Suppliers List was introduced to provide RHI participants with a simple way to demonstrate their fuel complies with RHI sustainability requirements. Suppliers who wish to register their fuel(s) on the List will be required to submit data for audit by the BSL Administrator. Suppliers who successfully register fuel(s) on the RHI Biomass Suppliers List are permitted to label their products with the BSL mark.

The Biomass Suppliers List is a list of producers and traders of woody biomass fuels which have been assessed as meeting the Renewable Heat Incentive sustainability and land criteria requirements. Sustainability requirements include Greenhouse gas and land criteria standards.

By sourcing their woody biomass fuel from the list allows RHI participants to ful� l the RHI eligibility criteria. The BSL requires important evidence of sustainability and legality of listed wood fuel. HETAS and Woodsure are part of the consortium that manage the scheme and together we are also raising the awareness to consider fuel quality and the importance to purchase the correct fuel quality speci� ed by biomass appliance manufacturers. Consumers’ should look for the Woodsure and ENplus®accreditation to ensure their boiler performs correctly.

The BSL is managed by a consortium including HETAS, Gemserv Ltd and Woodsure Ltd.

To get on the list, Producers, Traders and Producer-Traders apply to the BSL administrator via an online portal, submitting details of their raw materials, greenhouse gas limits, legality, drying methods, transport distances and other factors, to ensure that the emissions from the cultivation, processing and transport of the biomass fuel achieve a saving of at least 60% against the EU fossil fuel average for heat, when used in a boiler which achieves an average of 70% seasonal e� ciency (≤ 34.8 g CO2 per MJ).

The BSL Administrator lists companies that produce and trade fuels on its ’Find a Fuel’ site:biomass-suppliers-list.service.gov.uk/� nd-a-fuel

RHI participants sourcing their own raw materials from within their own estate, can - subject to certain requirements - register with the BSL as a Self-Supplier.

More information on the BSL can be found at: biomass-suppliers-list.service.gov.uk

Woodsure and HETAS work closely with various organisations concerned with common views on maintaining woodland and processing quality wood fuel. We are pleased to support the Grown in Britain scheme:

Grown in BritainGrown in Britain is creating new sustainably-managed woodland to increase the supply of British timber destined for use by local people and businesses. Whether it’s to heat our homes, in the construction of new buildings, or for retailers to create wood products that shape our everyday lives. The opportunities and the bene� ts of Grown in Britain are endless not just for the environment, but for people, wildlife, and our local economies.

Solid Mineral Fuels

SOLID MINERAL FUELSSOLID MINERAL FUELS Solid Mineral Fuels

This section should be read in conjunction with Part 1 - Appliances Burning SolidMineral Fuels & Wood. To ensure satisfactory performance of domestic solid fuelappliances it is important to use fuels that are of a suitable type and size.

The solid mineral fuels listed below have been tested and approved by HETAS on behalf of the fuel producer. The testing and approval combined with a quality assurance scheme enables the fuel to carry the HETAS Approved Solid Fuel logo (above) for which the customer should look. Petroleum coke is not recommended by HETAS for use on solid fuel burning appliances because its use can result in serious damage to grates and other appliance components in the fuel bed area.

However, a number of products which contain petroleum coke or are blends of petroleum coke with other fuels have been tested and approved. For these fuels approval is conditional on the manufacturer applying and maintaining stringent product control. Some appliance manufacturers restrict the use of these fuels to appliances with high chrome or chrome steel bottom grates, which may be supplied as an optional extra. Refer to manufacturers instructions for additional advice.

TESTING AND APPROVALFuels are tested according to a standard test procedure using a standard test appliance (Ref HETAS – Form 7B - A Guide To Methods Of Test And Standards Of Performance for Domestic Solid Mineral Fuels And Firelighters). Variations exist depending on the type of fuel and the approval being sought.

A range of performance criteria are considered when making an assessment for approval. These are based on both quantitative and qualitative assessments which are intended to verify that only fuels which provide a good overall performance and are safe to use become approved fuels. The intention is that fuel users can choose a fuel which is � t for their intended needs.

For closed appliance fuels, the measured parameters ensure ease of lighting, heat output and sustainability of useful heat output, together with controllability. Good residue/ashes characteristics which minimise waste are also considered. Qualitative assessments are used to indicate any window staining, smell, general � re appearance and any other considerations which might a� ect safety or convenience in use.

For open � re fuels, the ease of ignition and the radiant heat generated is measured as well as the required frequency of refuelling. Ash residue characteristics are checked to ensure waste is minimised. Qualitative assessments are used to indicate, smell, general � re appearance and any other considerations which might a� ect safety or convenience in use.

Gravity feed boilers require specialised small sized anthracite fuels. Measurements are made to ensure ease of lighting, a good heat output sustained over at least 9 hours and controllability. The ashes are checked for good clinkering characteristics, which are essential for the proper functioning of the appliance.

All fuels are subject to an analytical test which ensures the sulphur content is below 2%, ash content levels are not too high and the volatile matter levels are consistent with the fuels intended use. High volatile fuels not being recommended for use in closed appliances.

THE APPROVED COAL MERCHANTS SCHEMEThe Approved Coal Merchants Scheme (ACMS) is the body recognised by Trading Standards as the regulator for the coal trade. Members are fully trained and are committed to serving the customer. All Approved Coal Merchants have agreed to abide by the Coal Trade Code which has the following principles as a basis for honest and fair trading:

• Supply good quality Coal and Smokeless Fuel correctly described

• Ensure that packed fuels are marked with maximum information

• Ensure staff have a basic knowledge of the Retail Coal Trade

• Supply suitable fuels for particular appliances

• Investigate all consumer complaints properly

• Display a detailed and up to date price list

The Scheme is funded by the coal industry but has an Independent Chairman and area panels to help resolve consumer complaints. Approved Coal Merchants display the blue and red logo on their delivery tickets and vehicles.

The HETAS Guide ensures that members of the ACMS can advise their customers correctly on which fuels are suitable for their appliance. It is an integral part of the Home Study Course available to all merchants and their sta� .
