The Renewable Difference...
Burning pellets is a great alternative to burning fossil fuels such as propane or natural gas. At Clean Energy by Design we have highlighted four key facts to the sucess of pellets:
-Versatile. Pellets can be stored in bags from 40 pounds to 1 ton or in silos for one time filling for the entire heating season. A typical household burns 1 bag per day.
-Clean. Pellets are allergy free. This means that no dust or dirt is brough into the home or workplace. Emits 8 times less dust than the standard woodstove.
-Economic. Compared to fossil fuels the price of pellets has reamined virtually constant. Savings of up to 50% with the exception of coal. Each 40 pound bag equals 2.5 gallons of diesel. Each pound equals 8,400 BTU.
-Less. Woodstoves equal 50mg per hour of smoke/dust. Pellets release 8mg of dust/no smoke per hour. CO
