Are Wood Pellets Environmentally Friendly?
Wood pellets are environmentally friendly. You’ll find several reasons why wood pellets are a green solution to your heating needs. These reasons include:
- Wood pellets are a renewable energy source. When shopping for a new stove or stove, you may find that there are many options for the type of fuel you can use. Propane, oil, natural gas, and electricity are all common choices. Choosing a wood pellet heating system makes you part of the growing number of homeowners who rely on renewable energy. Choosing a wood pellet stove means you rely on energy that is grown and recycled, not mined and drilled.
- Our local pickup options and delivery services are environmentally friendly and efficient. If you choose our wood pellet delivery service, we will make the most of the space on the truck that is already heading for you. Our simple logistics process reduces the carbon footprint involved in delivery and distribution.
- Wood pellets provide low emissions. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pellet stoves are one of the most efficient options for solid combustion heating methods. Since wood pellets are a dense energy source and contain little moisture and little ash, the pellets burn completely and efficiently. This allows the hot air from your burn to be used efficiently to heat your home, business or commercial enterprise. EPA statistics show that burning one ton of wood pellets instead of oil reduces carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.5 tons.
- Wood pellets keep pallets out of landfills. EcoPellets Tasmania responsibly uses 100% recycled wood to manufacture wood pellets. This prevents decommissioned pllets from going into landfills to rot. And no binders are used in the pellet manufacturing process, so our pellets are 100% natural and clean burning.
- Our wood pellets are sustainable. Reclaimed wood is a renewable energy source. Recycled wooden shipping pellets prevent waste from going to landfill and create an eco-friendly way to heat your home, business or business premises.
Not only are wood pellets sustainable and environmentally friendly, the little ash from pellet stoves is also earth-friendly. You can use the ashes from the wood chip stove to fertilize the plants around your home and garden. According to the University of Missouri, wood ash contains potassium, lime and calcium. These nutrients are good for your garden and help your plants thrive.
