A
Carbon Neutral Fuel Source
As the
cost of heating with natural gas and fuel oils continues to
rise business is being pushed towards the use of biomass fuels
for heat generation.
Sustainable
Fuel
Unlike oil and gas boilers, wood pellet boilers run on a sustainable,
renewable and controllable fuel source which also has the
added advantage of being a lot nearer to Carbon Neutrality
than oil fuel, gas fuel or coal fuel.
Wood pellet
has become one of the most economic biomass fuels the world
can provide. Unlike fossil fuels, biomass fuels are a managed
renewable resource.
Wood pellet
is a carbon neutral fuel solution which is exempt from the
Climate Change Levy and can attract financial incentives in
the form of grants that can be used to mitigate initial capital
investments of equipment installation and ongoing running
costs.
Biomass
fuels are carbon neutral as they do not add CO2 to the atmosphere
because the same amount of CO2 released during the burning
process is absorbed whilst growing.
Wood pellet
is formed from good quality wood waste, allowing more complete
and effective utilisation of forestry resources.
The wood
waste is dried and pressed together in a pellet mill. The
temperature produced in this process causes woods natural
polymer, Lignin, to be released from the wood which in turn
binds the pellet together without the need for additional
binding agents.
This produces
a biomass fuel that is consistent, easy to transport, store
and extremely clean burning.
Wood pellets
have a low moisture content less than 10% and as such they
will not freeze in storage and can be stored outside in suitable
storage containers allowing for easy delivery and discharge,
whilst maximising storage space.
Wood pellets
have a very low ash content (typically in the region of 0.2%
- 0.5%) compared to other solid fuels (coal 8 – 12%).
The resultant wood pellet ash (potash) can be used as a fertiliser
thus reducing disposal and carbon footprint costs.
