Don't get one of the wood chip pellet things. The majority of the pellets are imported from Scandinavia. The extent of processing and delivery within Britain makes a coal boiler more 'friendly' if it is fired from British coal. One of my boroughs has done a massive amount of work on this are it is planning to develop a combined heat and power station for a redeveloped town centre. The scale of this station is based upon the volume of clippings from the borough's parks and buying in some waste from the surrounding borough's parks services. Currently they are planting a number of new trees. The power station is meant to be designed in a way that it can be converted to hydrogen and switched between various sources to increase its life.
