Biomass

We help producers, traders and end-users of biomass materials to determine an accurate profile of their commodities.

BIOMASS FUEL QUALITY TESTING

Alfred H Knight provides chemical analysis of biomass, helping you to determine the quality of your fuel and ensure that it complies with international standards such as EN and ISO. We enable biomass stations to meet and report against particular sustainability criteria so that they are eligible for Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs).

Including:

  • Wood Pellets
  • Wood Chips
  • Briquettes
  • Energy Crops
  • Agricultural Residues

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

Combustion systems are built to exact specifications, requiring a compliant fuel source. Our quality determination techniques provide you with the information required to be efficient with your biomass systems.

UNDERSTAND YOUR FUEL POTENTIAL

Alfred H Knight can determine the Gross & Net Calorific Value of your biomass, meaning you are clear on your material’s fuel potential.

We understand the critical value of knowing the moisture content of your biomass and as such, we will only provide you with the most accurate result.

The part we play in the circular economy

Various types of biomass can be used as a renewable and sustainable energy source. Through independent inspection and analytical services, Alfred H Knight helps organisations to determine the quantity and quality of their biomass materials with accuracy and reliability.
