Gas is easy, but expensive
Natural gas is operationally comfortable, yet its price often dominates seasonal drying cost.
Biomass can be cheaper, if engineered well
Biomass savings appear only when the system burns the selected fuel predictably and does not create excessive downtime or manual work.
Where cost is often hidden
Unstable combustion, poor ash handling, bad startup logic and insufficient automation turn cheap fuel into expensive operation.
What a fair comparison looks like
Compare gas and biomass through total cost per season, not just per tonne of fuel. HELIX uses this logic in project calculations.
