When homeowners are considering whole house heating solutions for their properties, there are several alternatives to the traditional heating systems that a great many of us have installed in our houses. For example there is biomass heating which utilises agricultural and urban waste to create warmth to heat properties and electricity to power them. The carbon in biomass can be found in the natural carbon cycle anyway, so it does not damage the environment like the burning of other fossil fuels since it isn’t going to add to the carbon footprint.
