Biomass includes organic fuels such as wood, straw or biowaste, which are used for sustainable heat generation. In residential buildings, pellet, wood chip or log heating systems are mainly used, offering a climate-friendly alternative to fossil heating systems. A prerequisite for biomass heating is sufficient space for the heating system and fuel storage. A sensible addition is the combination with a solar thermal system to provide additional hot water and reduce fuel consumption. Alternatively, a pellet stove with a water pocket can both heat rooms and provide heat for the heating system.
