Wood pellets are made from the dry sawdust of waste wood, and are much easier to transport and handle than other forms of wood fuel. They are formed at high pressure to produce an extremely dense fuel of consistent quality, and have a very low moisture content. Together, these properties make wood pellets ideal for use in fully automatic small-scale heating systems. In a house or business premises they can directly replace oil or gas as a primary energy source for central heating and production of hot water.
For heating, one ton of wood pellets
equals...
- 120 gallons of heating oil
- 170 gallons of propane
- 16,000 ft3 of natural gas
- 4,775 kWh of electricity
The Ökofen automatic wood pellet heating systems we supply are available in a range of sizes to suit anything from a small, energy-efficient house to a large office or business premises. They are fully automated and require refueling as little as once every twelve months, so are every bit as convenient as an oil or gas heating system. Wood pellet fuel for Ökofen boiler systems is now available in bulk in the Northeast US, and is cheaper than heating oil and LPG in most situations.
Sustainable and Clean
Wood is a renewable resource: the amount of carbon emitted as it burns is equivalent to the amount of carbon which was absorbed as the tree grew. Additionally, wood pellets are normally manufactured from sawmill waste which could otherwise become a landfill problem. Diverting it to provide a sustainable fuel source is therefore doubly advantageous from an environmental perspective. It is true that a small amount of energy is used in manufacturing wood pellet fuels, but this is less than the amount of energy used, for example, in refining crude oil. And as wood pellets are increasingly produced in the USA and Canada the environmental impacts of transporting this fuel are also lessened - and of course, the impact of transporting wood pellets is significantly less than the damage caused by obtaining foreign oil and transporting it literally half way around the world.
