Not wishing to by the bearer of bad tidings, but it can be said with some certainty that it is only a matter of time before annual audits are the norm.

 

Vehicle emissions are audited annually in an attempt to reduce global pollution, surely we should be encouraging pollution control.

 

Mean while back in the real world... We all no people are going to chuck any old crap in them then when auditors come revert back to the right way of doing things.

 

There are more commercial bio mass boilers in Herefordshire than any where elsa and I can tell you nobody round here is worried. They just want that little dial to spin so the bank balance gets topped up with a nice little cheque each month.

I could give loads of examples of things but a forum is not the place.

 

You said last night you had a kiln what is it and where from

90kw/hr self fabricated, burning waste timber <20% for good efficiency. No RHI.

 

I understand the Auditors will be asking for reciepts for kiln fuel purchased to run RHI accredited installations, so those who plan to use anything to fuel their kiln will possibly be fine for the first 10, 20 tonnes or so but after that they may find it difficult to beat the Auditor at their own game - or perhaps not if they are as naive as some would suggest.

 

At the end of the day it possibly just comes down to how individuals wish to run their business - everyone chooses to it differently of course.

Come on then get some pics up can't understand how you make any money out of it with no RHI as you would have to bun so much to dry little.

Unless of cause you no somthing we don't .

 

The figures just don't stack up considering you were stuggling for a decent supply of cord your very brave investing in a kiln. Surly that Arb waste you were on about. Chipping would be used to heat the kiln

If you have priced to remove the tree and take away arisings like many do - the arisings are effectively free.

 

x 1 tree by 100, air dry for 18 months gives you a quality fuel supply. Doesn't take long to build up 100 T.

 

Or you can tie up your capital and air dry the lot. We do some of each and this works for us.

 

The RHI is tempting of course, but would be looking at 198kw/hr pellet or chip for all the reasons posters better informed than me have stated previously.

 

But I could be wrong some would argue.
