Compost heater

A compost heater (or Biomeiler) is a structure for the energetic use of biomass for the heating of buildings.

A method relying on biological wood oxidation was developed by Jean Pain in the 1970s. Compost heaters are used primarily for demonstration purposes as small systems for heating a house. Local organic waste can be converted to energy.
