Wood Pellets For Heating

Wood pellets are a convenient, economical and efficient way to heat a home or business with domestic and sourced fuels.

Pellet fuels (or pellets) are biofuels made from compressed organic matter or biomass. Pellets can be made from any one of five general categories of biomass: industrial waste and co-products, food waste, agricultural residues, energy crops, and virgin lumber.

Wood pellets are the most common type of pellet fuel and are generally made from compacted sawdust and related industrial wastes from the milling of lumber, manufacture of wood products and furniture, and construction. Other industrial waste sources include empty fruit bunches, palm kernel shells, coconut shells, and tree tops and branches discarded during logging operations. So-called “black pellets” are made of biomass, refined to resemble hard coal and were developed to be used in existing coal-fired power plants.

Pellets are categorised by their heating value, moisture and ash content, and dimensions. They can be used as fuels for power generation, commercial or residential heating, and cooking. Pellets are extremely dense and can be produced with a low moisture content (below 10%) that allows them to be burned with a very high combustion efficiency.

We have premium hardwood (maple, oak, birch and ash) and premium softwood (pine, fir and spruce) pellets in stock.

According to the European Wood pellets consumption, the majority of the consumption went to heat production, representing 61,8%. Pellet consumption for heat can be further divided into three markets – residential heating (69%), commercial heating (19%) and heat generated from CHP (12%). The remaining 38,2% of wood pellets were used for power production.

 

Benefits of Wood Pellets for Heating

If you want to get a reliable source of heat, save money and help protect the environment, wood pellets ENplus A1 make a great choice. When the pellets burn, they release the same amount of carbon dioxide that the wood biomass absorbs during its growth, making them carbon-neutral.

Excellent pellet quality is essential to attain a constant and optimal heating process. As different fuel qualities exist, it is essential for stove and boiler owners to choose the right quality fuel that fits best with their installations.

The use of pellets for producing heat remained a strong sector in Europe. The use of pellets for electricity production.

 

Uses of Wood Pellets for Heating

A small and compact product that tackles some big challenges, our pellets are a true force of nature. About the height of a bottle cork, they are an energy-rich, low-ash, low-moisture and clean-burning heating source for wood pellet heaters and boilers in residential, commercial and large-scale industrial heating applications.

Our premium wood pellets also make a natural and comfortable choice for equine bedding. They are highly absorbent, drastically cut mucking out time, reduce bedding consumption, and are easy to store and transport.

 

Storage of Wood Pellets

For best longevity, wood pellets should be stored indoors. Humid locations may require a dehumidifier. When stored properly pellets can have a shelf life of over two years, but ideally are used within a six month period. At Pronaro we are able to store pellets outside because of our high turnover rate, so no ton of pellets is outside for more than a month or two.

Water will destroy wood pellets. Wood pellet bags are not waterproof. Each bag contains small hair holes to allow the pellets to breath. Take special care to prevent water absorption.

Premium wood pellets by the pallet will come covered with a UV resistant bag/hood which is effective for up to 12 months. Do not remove the bag/hood until the pellets will be used.
