Additional info
EKOPAL RM straw boilers have very good economic effects. The straw burns completely in them, and the heat is stored in the storage tank for later use. Consequently, straw consumption is low. About 8 tonnes of straw for the heating season is needed to warm a typical 200 m2 single family home. This amount of straw is usually collected from 3ha of field.
Straw bales of 80x40x40 cm, 180x70x120 cm, 250x120x80 cm or round, Ø 125-170 cm, are loaded depending on the type of boiler. Moreover, in all types of straw boilers EKOPAL RM can be burned waste and wood chips, textile wastes, sawdust and other types of biomass.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Buildings heat use
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
