Biomass and biomass chp - General
Biomass may be sourced from crops grown specifically for the purpose, or from by-products of agricultural, industrial, commercial or domestic activities. In the UK, short rotation coppice, willow and poplar, miscanthus, reed canary grass and oil seed rape are the most common forms of biomass crops. Biomass and biomass CHP are available on domestic, community and commercial levels, and for space heating (such as through a wood-burning stove), space and water heating (through a biomass boiler), or heating and power (through CHP, or micro-CHP on a domestic level).
