Tools

On the tools page you’ll find a range of items to help you improve and develop your knowledge of biomass wood fuel systems, conduct a pre-feasibility evaluation of a smaller scale installation, and search for case studies across a range of websites to highlight installations similar to any you are considering.

	The Woodshed Community For biomass projects under development, woodland owners and foresters, and anyone interested in biomass wood fuel that wants to share experience, gain knowledge and network with people and groups with similar interests, the Community Site will enable you to build your own contact network and share information. Get started now!
	Southwest Woodshed Advanced Search We’ve extended the range of case studies available.  Through the SW woodshed website, you’ll be able to search partner sites to identify case studies on similar systems to the ones you are considering.
	Site Assessment Training ‘Site Assessment’ training is an online interactive training package that will teach you the basics of biomass wood fuel systems.  Using training materials developed as part of our 2 day systems course, by the end of it you’ll be able to undertake a basic evaluation (pre-feasibility) of a site, and identify if it is a candidate for development of a biomass system.
	BEAT 2 Toolset To complement the Carbon Trust Guide and Calculator, the Biomass energy Centre’s BEAT2 Tool will enable you to evaluate through life costs, and the carbon costs of various biomass options.
	Carbon Trust Online Calculator The Carbon Trusts’ ’Biomass Heating – A practical guide for potential users’  is, we think, very much a ‘textbook’ for biomass wood fuel.  Using this with our interactive online training will, we hope, enable you to become an informed customer.  With the Carbon Trust Calculator, you’ll be able to undertake a pre-feasibility assessment of a potential small scale installation.
