Why Wood Pellets?
The benefits of selecting wood pellets rather than wood chips are:
| Wood pellet boilers tend to be cheaper than wood chip boilers (although we can offer you a chip boiler if you prefer) | |
| Wood pellets can be more easily delivered as they can be blown from the delivery truck and the truck can be up to 20m from the store | |
| As the energy density of a wood pellet is approximately four times greater than of a chip, the fuel store is smaller for pellet | |
| Wood pellets are produced to standard specifications | |
| Wood pellets are easy to source - there are hundred's of thousands of tonnes of wood pellets manufactured in the UK every year. The vast majority of these are currently exported | |
| Wood pellets have a more consistent calorific value than chips making your business model projections more reliable | |
| Wood pellets are of a more consistent size than chips and thus cause less wear on components such as transport augers | |
| Wood pellets have a much lower carbon footprint than any fossil fuel - even if they are transported the length of the UK! |
Wood Energy recommends Brites wood pellets and has a relationship with the manufacturer Balcas, that will offer you the benefits of a competitive fuel supply contract, whether you procure directly after an introduction by us or we organise that for you.
