How Much Can a 10-Ton Boiler Save Per Year by Switching to Biomass?

In the past two years, a very clear trend has emerged: more and more factories are quietly switching their energy sources.

Not because of environmental inspections — but because the costs have become unbearable.

Let’s do a simple calculation:
For the same steam production, natural gas typically costs over RMB 300 per ton of steam, while biomass can achieve around RMB 180–260 per ton.

The difference is not small — it’s over 30%.

For a factory operating a 10-ton boiler, the annual savings can often reach millions.

That’s why many industries have already started to transition:

• Textile & dyeing
• Food processing
• Paper mills
• Pharmaceutical factories
• Chemical plants

The logic is simple:
