During this period, the BSL portal will not filter pellet search results by any fuel quality certification until the suspension is lifted. This suspension is specifically to relieve any pellet availability issues there may be this winter. The full government consultation response can be viewed here.
Fuel quality remains an important consideration for purchasers of pellet fuels for biomass boilers and plant, as it can affect the operation and efficiency of your boiler and incorrect quality could lead to RHI payments being suspended, store clear outs, higher emissions or boiler breakdowns.
Things to check: We recommend that you check the following before you order any pellets and ensure you talk to your supplier to confirm if the pellets you are ordering are right for your boiler:
- Your boiler warrantee which may be invalidated if the correct fuel specification is not used
- Your maintenance contract, if any
- Your boiler emissions certificate – which will mention the fuel specification for the boiler
For more information please read BSL Fuel Quality guidance on Documents and guidance page.
