A while back I heard about a new sort of boiler developed in Scandinavia
somewhere. It was described as a "Catalytic" boiler, and
presumably worked
by combusting the gas in a catalytic converter to produce heat. It was
said to be very efficient, and could maintain that efficiency over a wide
range of output power levels. Sounds ideal, but I've not heard of
anything like it being available over here...
