The Humble Wood Pellet Will Fuel The Future

The wood pellet is a term which is been used much more in media and press than ever before. Previously you would have really only have heard about a wood pellet in Sweden or Germany. In mainland Europe wood pellet heating as been a been used for over a decade. The main driving factors been the cost of oil and gas, or in the case of Ital more specifically the taxation placed on oil and gas. Italy produces some of the most fuel flexible wood pellet boilers. They can also burn waste grains, nut shells and olive pips. While climate change and global warming are part of the reason why wood pellet fuel is been taken more seriously, as always the biggest driving factor is cost. Consumers can now save a third on their heating costs with wood pellet fuel, and the savings will rise in the future. So we know wood pellet fuel is been used to heat homes and business, but what else are they been used for? Well coal power stations have realised they face major increases in costs due to the increased taxation been placed on them due to their carbon emissions. Therefore more and more coal pellet plants around the world are now using wood pellet fuel in co-combustion with coal or even a 100% wood pellet fuel burn. Solid fuel power plants are going to have to play a more significant role in our energy production for the foreseeable future. For instance since the nuclear disaster in Japan many countries are now down scaling they plans for nuclear power plants. German for example have now removed all plans and will remove all current nuclear power plants when appropriate. Therefore over the next few decades the humble wood pellet will be used for heat and power on the smallest and largest scales. Through our experience and research of wood pellets, one of the most over look factors by manufactures and consumers is pellet density. For the best combustion efficiency you need to make sure that the pellets you are producing and consuming are of a sufficient density.
