Why Pellet Fuels?
|
|
Biofuel vs Oil, Coal & Liquid Petroleum Gas
|
|
Pellets vs Chips and Logs
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Carbon
Neutral" - Exempt from the Climate Change Levy
|
|
|
Combustion equipment
will qualify for Enhanced Capital Allowances from April 2001
|
|
|
Provide sustainable
jobs in local economy
|
|
|
Reduce UK's reliance on
imported fuels
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pellets are dry and can
be stored without degrading
|
|
|
Pellets flow like a
liquid and are handled easily
|
|
|
Have consistent and
high energy density
|
|
|
Enable low-emissions
combustion
|
|
What are Pellets made of
?
|
|
|
All Pellets are biomass materials,
that is, products of commonly grown plants and trees. The most common
pellets are made from dry sawdust and ground wood chips. Resins and
binders (Lignin) occurring naturally in the sawdust hold wood pellets
together they usually contain no additives
|
|
What are common
characteristics of all Pellet Fuels ?
|
|
|
Although the chemical constituents and
moisture content of different biomass materials vary, Pellet Fuel has common
characteristics with developed fuel standards. These voluntary industry
standards assure as much uniformity in the final product as is possible for
naturally grown materials that become processed.
|
|
Density - consistent hardness and energy content
(minimum 40 pounds/cubic foot)
|
|
|
Dimensions - length (25mm Maximum) and diameter (6mm or
8mm) to assure predictable fuel amounts and to prevent fuel jamming
|
|
|
Fines - limited amount of sawdust from pellet
breakdown to avoid dust while loading and problems with pellet flow during
operation (amount of fines passing through 1/8" screen no more than
·5% by weight)
|
|
|
Chlorides - limited salt content (no more than 300 parts
per Million) to avoid stove or vent rusting
|
|
|
Ash content - important factor in maintenance frequency

There are two main options Tracker
Contract
|
|
Tracker Contract - For the term of the the contract the price a of
the pellets tracks well below the cost of oil.
|
|
|
Fixed Rate Contract
- For the term of the
contract price of the pellet remains at fixed cost for the term of the contract.
