Engineering over the last decade there have
been two major factors that have been driving the growth
of the pellet fuel market. The first is the consistent rise in
the cost of fossil fuels and price instability, and the second
is the increased attention given to the effects of using
fossil fuels such as oil and gas on The environment. Other
factors that support the case for pellets is that they are a
fuel that can be produced locally, from local wood and
biomass materials. Local pellet production and
distribution can produce an affordable fuel, while
creating local jobs and keeping the carbon footprint to a
minimum. One question that many people ask is why have
pellets instead of just burning logs? Well there are many
reasons, but firstly logs only come from trees that in
general grow very slowly. Pellets can be made from
practically any biomass material including straws,
grasses, energy crops etc. For example hemp is set to be a
biomass fuel leader. The other main reasons for pellets
over logs are that pellets burn much more efficiently. This
means pellets produce less ash, less smoke and more heat.
Also pellets have a uniform size, shape, density and
moisture content. These consistent qualities make it
possible to design highly automated combustion systems
such as modern wood pellet stoves and boilers.
