Wood Pellet Benefits
Wood pellets are generally made from compacted sawdust. Their small precise size and shape permits automatic and controllable delivery from a pellet stove’s storage bin (hopper) to its burn chamber. Wood pellets may also be burned in fireplace inserts, or specially designed central heating furnaces.
Frequently cited benefits of wood pellets include the following:
- They are a biomass product derived from a renewable and readily available resource (trees).
- They reduce the need for reliance on the high priced and volatile global fuel commodities financial markets.
- They are environmentally clean as opposed to fossil fuels whose production and consumption have significantly harmful environmental consequences.
- They have high combustion efficiency due to their low moisture content (4 to 8 percent).
- High combustion efficiency means low levels of residual emissions.
- They may be used as a secondary heat source to reduce dependence on higher priced fossil fuels.
- The high density and small uniform size and shape of wood pellets allows for automatic and controllable delivery of wood pellets into wood pellet stoves, and also facilitates their packaging, storage and economic transportation.
- Advances in pellet stove designs have resulted in simpler and more automated operation, reduced emissions, improved stove safety, and lower maintenance.
- Pellet stoves are designed to be attractive and can add visual appeal to a home.
