WOOD PELLETS |
||
Wood pellets constitute a biological fuel material, which, in
essence, is sun-energy accumulated over longer time periods. The bio-mass, or grass, plants, bushes and trees, attract and concentrate a large amount of light and heat energy that we can later conveniently use to generate warmth for our home. Bio-mass is unique, because it consumes a large amount of the CO2 carbon dioxide gas during its growth, not to mention the tremendous amount of O2 , or oxygen that is produced during the photosynthesis process. Wood pellets are a renewable and nature-friendly biological fuel material, whose energy is turned into heat energy as a result of a chemical transformation: burning. The biological fuel material is CO2 neutral, because the biomass raw material that is used for its production binds the same amount of CO2 when it grows, as it releases during the burning process. Wood pellets are also environmentally friendly as a biological fuel material due to the fact that the amount of sulphur and nitrogen in it is so minuscule, that, when maintaining an appropriate burning process, the flue gases contain very minor, difficult to detect quantities of nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide. Yet fossil fuels, like coal, oil products and gas, release considerable amounts of these gases as they burn. |
