What is Biomass?

January 23rd, 2008 by admin Leave a reply »

Biomass is any living or recently dead material, at PelHeat we believe in any biomass that can be converted into pellets and potentially used as a fuel. This includes.

 

·        Wood

·        Energy Crops

·        Biomass Waste

 

Utilising more biomass than wood is very important to provide a sustainable future. Currently the pellet market is focused on producing pellets from wood with the lowest ash content possible, to make burning pellets as low maintenance as possible. However wood is obviously not the fastest growing biomass, so as the pellet market grows demand will out weigh supply, forcing the price of pellets to increase.

 

At PelHeat we wish to encourage the use of wood biomass, but also energy crops and biomass waste. Upgrading these resources using the PelHeat Mobile Pelletizer will have the following benefits.

 

·        Will utilize local biomass from purpose grown resources and from biomass wastes, for example from tree surgeons.

·        Supports the local economy by collecting, upgrading and selling the biomass pellets back into the local economy.

·        Helps the environment even more by reducing fuel transportation

·        Reduces pellet costs to the consumer due to reduced transportation

·        Heating fuel independent

 

Thank you for your interest
