Advantages of pellets

The advantages of pellets for combustion, as compared with unmodified wood waste:

• greater energy efficiency
• high calorific value – 17 MJ/kg
• low ash content ( up to 1 %)
• low water content ( 8 % – 10 %)
• reduction of the volume – low demand for storage space (650 kg/m3)
• fully automatic unattended operation and regulation
• production of low emission combustion
• acceptable price per unit of heat produced
• a full-featured substitute for other types of fuel
• a renewable source of energy for heating
