Riding Out the Gas Crunch: Future-Proofing Your Business with Dual Fuel Burners

We’ve already seen the knock-on effects, with increased coal use for electricity generation, hardly a step in the right direction for our emissions goals. The Gas Industry Company’s recent reports underscore the issue, highlighting a clear downward trend in gas production levels. Adding to the uncertainty is the ban on new offshore oil and gas exploration, coupled with policy wobbles that can make long-term energy investment a tricky proposition. While other energy sources like biomass and electricity have their place, they aren’t always a straightforward or complete substitute for the reliable heat and power that gas provides.

So, what’s a business to do when faced with this “gas crunch”? At Tubman Heating, we suggest  being prepared and having options. That’s where the smart move to dual fuel burners comes into play. Think of it as having a Plan B – a way to keep your operations running smoothly regardless of gas supply hiccups or price spikes.

Dual fuel burners are exactly what they sound like: burners that can operate using either gas or another fuel source, typically diesel. This gives your business the ultimate flexibility. When gas prices are favourable and supply is steady, you can run on gas. But if things get tight, or prices jump, you can seamlessly switch to your alternative fuel, ensuring business continuity and protecting your bottom line from volatile energy markets.

At Tubman Heating, we’re proud to offer a range of high-quality dual fuel burners from leading European manufacturers. Our CIB Unigas dual fuel burners are known for their reliability and efficiency.
