Wood pellets are a biofuel made from compressed wood fiber that can be used for heating, cooking, and power generation:
-
How they are madeWood pellets are made by removing moisture from wood fiber, grinding it into dust, compressing it into cylinders, and applying heat to bind the particles together.
-
UsesWood pellets can be used in stoves ranging from small residential heaters to large commercial boilers. Many stoves with wood pellets have hoppers and augers that automatically feed pellets into the fire, so they don’t need to be loaded as often as traditional firewood-burning stoves.
-
BenefitsWood pellets are climate-friendly biofuel because trees absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as is released during combustion. Wood pellets can also be cost-effective, saving about half the cost of fuel compared to natural gas or fossil oil
