What Is Wood Pellet?

Wood pellets are a type of biomass fuel made from compressed sawdust or other wood waste. They are renewable and sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, mainly used for heating or power generation. Wood pellets have a compact structure, uniform size and shape, high energy density, and are easy to transport and store.

1.Is Pellet Good For Burning?

Of course! Due to its low moisture content (below 10%), the combustion efficiency is high.

Advantages:

• High energy content: Wood chips particles have a high energy content, which means they generate a large amount of heat during combustion. This makes them an excellent fuel for heating homes, businesses, and industries.
• Clean combustion: Compared to other types of solid fuels, sawdust particles are a cleaner combustion fuel. When burned, they produce very little ash and emit low levels of carbon dioxide. This makes them an environmental choice for those who care about the environment.
• Sustainability: Wood chips are made from waste wood products such as sawdust and shavings, otherwise these products will be discarded. Using this type of waste wood to produce biofuels can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and help protect natural resources.
• Convenience: Wood chips are easy to store and transport. They are small and uniform in shape, easy to handle and store, making them ideal fuels for small and medium-sized heating systems.

2.Do Wood Pellets Cause Smoke?

Trees survive and thrive on water, and when they're cut into firewood, logs retain much of that moisture. A log can contain 50% or more of its weight in water. That results in a lot of smoke.

Pellets are made of compressed sawdust, so they contain much less moisture than logs. Wood pellets typically have moisture levels of just 5% to 10%. This means that when they're burned, they tend to produce very little smoke.
