For many people, the principle of heating via the use of pellets is still a very new concept. Many people are unaware of the reward of wood pellet fuels compared to log fires for example, along with the possibility to turn other biomass materials into energy pellets. At PelHeat we have been researching as well as experimenting by means of pellets since 2006. And we are strong believers that pellets will play a key role in changing the current trend of predominantly using fossil fuels to heat homes along with businesses.

In terms of the specific location as well as time, it is unclear. However around the 1970’s more than a few feed processors started to experiment processing wood into pellets as a fuel source. Again much like today, the catalysis for the idea came the rapid amplify in the fee of fuel from the cost of oil as well as gas. On the other hand today we have an additional driving factor of trying to lessen green house gases to slow climate change. Pellets have been produced from hay as well as grasses for animal feed since the start of the 20th century. In the 70’s when wood pellet fuels were first produced, some people thought a biomass pellet energy industry would grow rapidly from then onwards. However the fee of oil plus gas dropped, plus the appeal of pellets dropped as they do require more maintenance than a uncomplicated gas or oil burner. At the turn of the 21st century though, Sweden was well on its means to a dominant market share of pellet fuel heating. Because of the large amount timber processing in Sweden, there were large amounts of sawdust residue accessible cheaply as it was seen as waste, plus charge to remove. Central Europe now has a rapidly growing pellet market than it set to continue. This is a question many people today still disagree over, in addition to particularly by means of pellet production. At PelHeat we in general support the idea of a large number of smaller scale pellet manufacture plants and a few large scale pellet plants. The advantage by means of a small pellet plant positioned in the right location, way the overall energy used as well as charge to the consumer can be reduced. For case in point if a local area has enough resources to make pellet energy, and the local area has a demand for pellet energy. It is far more efficient to manufacture the pellets locally, along with then distribute locally. By means of a large pellet plant the raw matter travel long distances in addition to the pellet energy travels long distances. This results in a low overall energy efficiency through unnecessary transport. The other advantage by means of pellet fuels is that local pellet production and consumption can be very beneficial to the local economy and local community in general.

Since the start of the pellet fuels market, the emphasis has always been on wood, as well as only specific types of biomass to manufacture the lowest ash content pellet probable. On the other hand there is simple not ample of these resources to meet future market demands. Therefore other forms of wood plus biomass must be used to make pellet fuels. It also makes it easier for a local community to grow its own fuel resources or using other local waste resources from food crop production.
