ABSTRACT

One of the most important considerations for providing an effective means of heating water is selection of an appropriate fuel. Energy from sunlight contributes to the process of photosynthesis in plants which absorbs the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by biomass fuel combustion, thereby completing the cycle. The integral fuel store contains small granules or 'peas' of anthracite and will require minimal attention with a burning capacity of several days. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from biofuels are relatively high compared to fossil fuels, principally due to a lower calorific value but the CO2 is absorbed by biomass plant growth. Energy from sunlight contributes to the process of photosynthesis in plants which absorbs the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by biomass fuel combustion, thereby completing the cycle.
