World Environment Day

To mark World Environment Day , 4 of Balcas‘ Enniskillen based staff volunteered to litter pick over lunchtime. Two bin bags were filled between them in just 30 minutes along the main stretch of our road.

In a telling twist, they got caught out in an angry hale shower in between the sunshine’s rays.

Litter is an unfortunate and constant blight on our beautiful rural landscape, so they’ve vowed to keep it going every Friday during lockdown!

Thank you, team!

World Environment Day with Balcas Energy

Reducing greenhouse gas emission and increasing the use of non-fossil fuel are the cornerstones of  our efforts to make UK and Ireland more sustainable and support a low carbon economy.

At Balcas Energy we are marking the World Environment Day by also:

  • encouraging a low carbon society with over 300,000 tonnes of CO2 savings per year
  • promoting a low carbon energy system, by currently displacing 100 million litres of oil annually
  • caring about our environment – our trees are part of a sustainable solution to the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. For every tree we use, we plant four more! 
  • promoting the efficient use of Renewable Energy – our wood pellets are manufactured using our own energy plant – no energy waste!

Pellet Stoves – Create An Efficiency Factor of More than 90%

The definition for the Wood Pellet Stove from Wikipedia is as follows:

“A wood pellet stove is a stove that burns compressed wood or biomass pellets to create a source of heat for residential and sometimes industrial spaces. By steadily feeding fuel from a storage container (hopper) into a burn pot area, it produces a constant flame that requires little to no physical adjustments. Today’s central heating systems operated with wood pellets as a renewable energy source can reach an efficiency factor of more than 90%.”

A biomass stove can clearly provide heat for the room where it is situated.  However the real benefits come from linking the stove to a back boiler to generate hot water and heating for the rest of the household or organisation.

Biomass stoves that include a back boiler can use 2 main heat sources – wood pellets or logs.  Whilst wood pellet stoves can be considered to be generally more expensive than their log-burning counterparts, they bring several important advantages.  They don’t require as much storage space and can of course hold more fuel via a built in hopper.

wood pellet stoveIt is important to acknowledge that all wood pellets are not the same.  Different pellets will have differing burning behaviours and performance levels.  If you have a wood pellet stove it is important to use pellets of the highest quality to minimise your maintenance costs and ensure the sustainability of your investment.

Balcas Energy Enplus wood pellets are BSL authorised.  We deliver pellets directly to your home or business to be blown straight into your store.  If you have a smaller hopper integrated with your stove it might be better order wood pellet bags from us.  These are delivered in 10kg bags which are easy to load into your hopper.  For more information on Ofgem’s biomass suppliers list, visit the Government’s official wood pellets suppliers list HERE.
