The most important things in brief
Sustainability: Wood gasification boilers use wood as a renewable energy source and enable efficient combustion.
Efficiency: Thanks to wood gasification technology, they achieve high levels of efficiency and clean combustion.
Subsidies: Government funding programs offer attractive subsidies for the purchase of a wood gasification boiler.
How does a wood gasification boiler work?
A wood gasification boiler uses a two-stage combustion process to enable particularly efficient use of wood.
- Wood gasification: In the first chamber the wood is heated and wood gas is released.
- Afterburning: The resulting wood gas is burned in a separate chamber at high temperatures.
- Heat utilization: The heat generated is fed into the heating system via a heat exchanger.
advantages and disadvantages
Advantages: High efficiency, low fuel costs, CO₂-neutral energy source.
Disadvantages: Manual filling, regular maintenance required.
costs and subsidies
Classic wood gasifier: From approx. €7,000.
Combined models: From approx. €10,000.
Funding: Up to 45% subsidy from BAFA and KfW.
possible uses
Wood gasification boilers are suitable for single-family homes, farms and buildings with high heat requirements.
