Burning biomass for heat or heat and power leads to:

Reduced levels of greenhouse gasses emitted to atmosphere. Provided the biomass is sourced from a sustainably, the carbon dioxide emmitted from burning is taken out of the atmosphere again as more biomass is grown.
Effective and efficient means of utilising waste products
Reduced dependency of oil
Enhanced rural economies

Reduced level of gas consumption
Effective return on investment
