WHY PELLETS?
Pellets make biomass practical and convenient to use in a domestic and commercial environment as they:
- Are easily used in existing solid fuel heating systems;
- Have a reliable high energy content;
- Are easy to handle, transport and store;
- Can be made from by-product which would otherwise be wasted;
- Attract a variety of government energy incentives.
Over 10 million tonnes of pellets manufactured globally each year and they represent a substantial proportion of the domestic heating fuel market across German, Austria, Italy and Scandanivia. Demand is growing strongly in the UK because wood pellets represent a proven, easy to use sustainable alternative to heating oil and natural gas.
