Hot Water, Central Heating & Process Heat Solutions for Business Projects
Biomass boilers, including log wood, wood chip, and pellet boilers, use 100% renewable fuel to provide central heating, hot water, or process heat for commercial-scale applications. They offer an effective way to reduce carbon emissions and can serve as a direct replacement for fossil fuel boilers powered by gas, coal, or diesel.
Why choose biomass boilers?
Reduce carbon emissions
Replacing fossil fuels with wood biomass fuel is a completely renewable energy source, reducing the carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels by over 98%.
Flexible & Economical
Our boilers are extremely flexible, allowing us to easily scale up , which also makes them very economical.
Minimal maintenance
Featuring automated fuel feeding, ignition, combustion control, and self-cleaning systems, reducing manual work and maintenance.
Touch Control
Quickly access the heating system and call up all of its data from a computer or smartphone, wherever you are.
Long term cost certainty
Switching from gas avoids the spiralling cost of fossil fuels, and sudden price hikes.
Apricus Eco Energy Box - Leading Commercial Container Systems
Apricus Eco Hot Water offers a range of commercial biomass boiler systems, including the prefabricated modular plant room known as the Apricus Eco Energy Box.
Leading the way in providing an easy replacement solution for gas, coal, and oil boilers across New Zealand, the Energy Box combines a complete biomass boiler plant room and fuel store in one unit. Designed for outdoor installation, it can be quickly connected to existing power and water services for fast commissioning.
For larger installations, pellet and biomass boiler systems can be configured in a cascade arrangement within the container. This setup provides a high level of redundancy, improved efficiency at varying loads, and greater flexibility in plant room design and operation.
Maximising Efficiency
Our commercial boilers offer industry leading technology, maximising efficiency whilst minimising emissions and bio fuel use. They provide a much cleaner and safer environment for staff, and the low level of maintenance required to keep them running reduces the hours needed from staff. The fuel delivery is entirely automated and there is no manual handling of the pellets required.
What types of Boilers do you install?
ÖkoFEN Pellet Boilers
ÖkoFEN were among the pioneers of pellet boiler technology, developing their first systems in 1989. Today, they have over 100,000 boilers installed across 25 countries. With advanced research, engineering, and manufacturing facilities throughout Europe, ÖkoFEN continue to lead the way in pellet boiler innovation and performance. ÖkoFEN boilers have an industry leading condensing technology, that maximises efficiency whilst minimisingemissions and pellet fuel use. Read more about ÖkoFEN pellet boilers.
HDG Biomass Boilers
HDG wood heaters are designed in Germany, they have long been at the forefront of wood heating system innovation, consistently adapting to meet the evolving demands of the market and customers. Until now, burning wood chips from branches, treetops and thinning wood has been difficult but HDG now offer a range of biomass boilers including log wood boilers, wood chip boilers and pellet boilers.

It has been a pleasure working with Apricus Eco over the course of the School Coal Boiler Replacement Programme. They provide an excellent product, and have exceeded our expectations in terms of the seamless supply and delivery of biomass heating to schools. We look forward to working with them in the future… as we continue to decarbonise school heating…
Mark | Tainui School
The boiler has been running two weeks. It’s amazing compared to the old coal burner… the old coal burner was a health hazard really for everybody, but this one is so clean and so warm. It definitely exceeded my expectations, because it’s just so easy to use. There was no real disruption to school life, they were actually pretty good.
Pellet Storage Options:
Flexilo: Highly compact, spring-loaded fuel bags that can fit in the tightest spaces. Available in a range of sizes.
Fuel bunker with auger: Constructed in-situ to fit the
space available. Seismically independent from the building,
making them ideal for New Zealand requirements.
Energy Box pellet store: 20′ container for fuel storage when there isn’t enough room in the building.
Why use wood pellets as a fuel?
Replacing fossil fuels with wood biomass fuel is a completely renewable energy source, reducing the carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels by over 98%. Made of wood waste, from pine forests that are continually being replanted, wood pellets are an endless source of renewable energy in a circular economy.
Why use wood chips as a fuel?
Replacing fossil fuels with wood biomass fuel is a completely renewable energy source, reducing the carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels by over 98%. Made of wood waste, from pine forests that are continually being replanted, wood chips are an endless source of renewable energy in a circular economy.
Wood biomass - why it’s a better alternative to gas & coal
The amount of CO2 emitted during the burning of pellet fuel is equivalent to the amount absorbed during the growth of the trees, and therefore it is defined as carbon neutral — working within the carbon cycle. This is particularly true of New Zealand-made pellets as they are only manufactured from the waste products of our forestry and wood milling industry; materials that would otherwise go to landfill. Over 200,000 tonnes of pellets are produced and delivered across New Zealand each year, with companies now offering supply and pricing contracts for up to 15 years. Read more.
