Key Benefits of our Wood Chip for Biomass

Consistent Quality

With uniform size and quality, our eco wood chips offer efficient combustion and better performance than other alternatives, reducing wear and tear on your biomass boiler and extending its lifespan.

High Heat Output

Our biomass wood chips are designed to provide a high heat output, making your biomass boiler more efficient and cost-effective.

Sustainable & Renewable

Sustainably sourced from locally managed UK farms and woodlands, our wood chips are 100% natural and renewable.

Carbon-Neutral

Using our wood chips as biomass fuel helps reduce your carbon footprint because they are produced from renewable wood crops that store carbon, making them a carbon-neutral energy source.

Product Specification

Our biomass wood chips are made from virgin willow wood that’s sustainably grown and harvested (coppiced so regrows each year) in the UK. They are available in different standards to suit your specific requirements:

P16B/P16S Wood Chip

(formerly G30)

This is the most common size class produced in the UK, known for its uniformity and cleanliness. Ideal for efficient biomass heating.

P31.5/P31S Wood Chip

(formerly G50)

Another popular size, offering the same high quality and sustainability. Suitable for various biomass applications.

Type of Eco Wood Chip -

SRC Willow Wood Chip

Our SRC (Short Rotation Coppice) willow wood chips are a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. They are produced from perennial willow crops which are coppiced every three to five years. These biomass wood chips offer numerous ecological benefits:

Local & Sustainable

Willow is grown by local farmers across the UK and sustainably harvested via a method called coppicing. This not only supports the environment but the local economy too.

Biodiversity Gain

SRC willow supports a wide range of wildlife, including ladybirds that help control aphids and providing early pollination opportunities for bees and insects. These crops also provide habitat for birds, supporting local ecosystems.

Carbon Sequestration

The willow crops are coppiced every 3-5 years, ensuring no deforestation or uprooting, which helps in carbon storage and soil health improvement.

Soil Protection

The coppicing process protects the soil, preventing erosion and promoting soil health.

Agroforestry Integration

These eco-wood chips are made from perennial willow crops grown as part of an agroforestry system that improves microclimates and soil conditions for growing grass and food crops and enhances livestock health. This benefits livestock and arable farming practices.

Round Wood Chip

Our round wood chip is another excellent biomass fuel option. They are produced from parts of trees that are not suitable for timber products and offer the following advantages:

Sustainably Sourced

Our round wood chip is sourced from locally managed woodlands, ensuring sustainability and minimal environmental impact.

Efficient Use of Resources

This chip is made from parts of trees not used for timber, such as twisted or non-straight trunks.

High Quality

Like our willow wood chips, these are clean and consistent in size, perfect for efficient biomass heating.

FAQs about Eco Wood Chip

What are the benefits of using our eco wood chips for biomass heating?

Our eco wood chips provide a sustainable and renewable source of energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions. They are cost-effective and offer high heat output with a clean and efficient burn, making them ideal for biomass boilers.

What makes Eco Crops’ biomass wood chips different from other wood chips?

Our biomass wood chips are consistent in size and quality, and meet the Woodsure standard regulations which ensures high performance and sustainability. Some other types of wood biofuel aren’t suitable for biomass boilers because they are made from low-quality fibres or vary in size which leads to an inefficient burn.

Our premium wood chip bedding can also be more cost-effective than other substrates, particularly if crops are grown on-site on marginal land. Wood chip is odourless and typically has lower levels of dust than paper, straw and sawdust bedding, without the risk of mould contamination. It’s also a suitable bedding alternative for livestock who tend to consume their bedding.

At Eco Crops Ltd, we take pride in the quality and consistency of our wood chip products. Our wood chip bedding is sustainable, made from 100% natural fibres from renewable UK-grown crops, and it’s non-toxic to livestock with no acidification effect on soil when spread back onto farmland.

Are Eco Crops’ wood chips suitable for all biomass boilers?

Yes, our eco wood chips are suitable for all biomass boilers. Their high quality and uniform size make them ideal for efficient burning and reducing boiler maintenance. These wood chips for biomass boilers are available in various sizes and meet the Woodsure regulation standards, ensuring they are ready to burn.

Can using biomass wood chips improve the lifespan of my boiler?

Yes, using high-quality biomass wood chips from Eco Crops Ltd can improve the efficiency and longevity of your biomass boiler. Consistent and clean wood chips reduce wear and tear, ensuring your boiler operates smoothly and requires less maintenance.

Wood chip can withstand heavy use, absorbs moisture well, and stays clean for longer, making it a strong and durable bedding alternative - an attractive option for farmers looking to lower their operational costs without compromising on quality. 

Alternatively, our premium wood chip can be used in conjunction with straw or other substrates to enhance the benefits and improve the longevity of the bedding.

How sustainable are Eco Crops wood chips for biomass boilers?

Our eco wood chips are highly sustainable. Sourced from locally managed UK farms and woodlands, they are renewable, carbon-neutral, and contribute to biodiversity and soil health.

What sizes of biomass wood chips do you offer?

We offer P16B/P16S and P31.5/P31S wood chips, previously known as G30 and G50. These are the most common and efficient sizes for biomass heating.

Can I use eco wood chips for other purposes besides heating?

While our wood chips are primarily designed for biomass heating, they can also be used for other heating applications requiring high-quality, consistent wood-based biofuel. They can also be used as animal bedding and gardening mulch - view our full range of products for more information!
