LEED Baseline system definition

Hi Everyone,

We are working on LEED certification for a school project in the south of
Chile.
The building has a wood pellet based biomass Boiler to provide heating.
Since the definition of the baseline system depends on the heating system of
the proposed building, I am wondering how to clasified the wood pellet
boiler.
The choices are:
1 fossil fuel,
2 electric or Other
Should I consider wood pellet as " Other " and therefore the baseline system
would be Electric?

Many Thanks,

As a wood boiler is essentially a replacement for a fossil fuel boiler, I
have created a fossil fuel baseline for such projects in the past.
