Along with ‘green energy’ and ‘carbon neutral or renewable fuels’ the phase sustainable energy is a term often used. Sustainability simply refers to whether it is possible to manage the energy requirements without damaging the environment or the economy. For example wood is a renewable fuel, as you can grow more trees. However if we only used wood for energy we would consume the trees faster than they can grow, therefore this is not sustainable.
So sustainability refers to the fuel resource its self, however the process of harvesting and processing the fuel also has to be sustainable. Larger scale harvesting and possessing cannot economically process small quantities of biomass fuel resources. As raw biomass material transportation due to its low bulk density is very expensive, and excessive transportation is also very bad for the environment.
Small-scale pellet production is an economical and sustainable way to utilize relatively small quantities of local biomass resources. Raw material and pellet transportation is dramatically reduced, and it produces more local jobs.
Large-scale production is always needed to fulfil the demands of the majority. However it does have limitations, and gaps in its ability to fully utilize available resources. This is where small-scale production can make full use of the local resources, which in many cases improves local land management and reduces waste issues. What must be acknowledged is that our new energy future is composed of several technologies, including wind, solar and biomass to name but a few, and both small and large-scale operations.
