What Makes Wood Pellets A Green Alternative?

candice By candice 2022-11-03

Heating your home, business or commercial premises with wood pellets is a great alternative to cord wood, propane and heating oil. What makes wood pellets a clean alternative? Learn more about why you might want to use wood pellet fuel to heat your home.

Wood pellets are clean burning

Wood pellets are not only clean for the environment, but also for your home. Unlike cordwood, wood pellets are free of bugs and bark. Also, since wood pellets contain very little moisture and ash, they burn with very little ash. This will make the task of cleaning the pellet ash tray simple and clean.

Wood pellets are efficient

Wood pellets release as much heat as possible when burned. Wood pellets are the most efficient source of solid fuel available to consumers today. Wood pellets have low moisture content. The heat of wood pellets is approximately 9,000 BTU/lb, creating an energy efficient fuel for heating your home, business or commercial premises. High-efficiency wood pellet stoves and boilers burn around 95% wood pellets. Compared to burning 70% to 80% firewood or cordwood, wood pellets are an effective option.

Wood pellets are renewable

Renewable energy is a clean energy source compared to limited resources such as oil, natural gas and fossil fuels such as coal. EcoPellets Tasmania uses sustainable sources to manufacture pellets. Using wood pellets can also help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the environment. This helps fight global warming.

Wood pellets are recycled

EcoPellets Tasmania manufactures wood pellets from recycled wooden shipping pallets. This prevents waste from going to landfill and helps reduce carbon footprint. EcoPellets Tasmania does not use chemically treated trays in the pellet manufacturing process. This makes our recycled wood pellets 100% natural. The entire production and transportation process creates a wood pellet product that can be used by consumers and is a renewable energy source.
