Solid fuel is often a cost-efficient method to heat a home and provide hot water, especially in remote or rural areas where mains services are not supplied. In recent times, interest has also grown in wood-burning as an environmentally-friendly method to heat a home.
Types of Solid Fuels
Therefore, solid fuels fall under two classifications: minerals and biomass. Mineral fuels include coal, natural smokeless fuel in the form of dry steam, and anthracite. They also include manufactured smokeless and non-smokeless fuel.
The most common biomass fuel that is used is wood. Wood is supplied in varying forms including manufactured logs made of wax and wood, logs, chips, and pellets.
Whilst other mineral and biomass fuels do exist, you should not use these heating sources unless they can be used in a solid fuel appliance without producing excess pollutants. If you live in a smoke-controlled location, the fuel should be authorised for the area as well. Mineral fuels under this class include petroleum coke and biomass fuels such as agricultural or animal wastes.
