Wood Pellet Fuel Becomes Replacement of Diesel

The North of Canada now is commonly heated by wood pellet stoves other than ordinary heating systems. Even 10-storey buildings are heated by wood pellet stoves to decease fuel cost and environmental pollution. Almost every public building is heated with wood pellet fuel.

Statistics show that a pellet boiler cost 20%~50% less than diesel ones. And in the past, the North mainly use diesel which was imported from the southern part with high price. Besides, there is no large distribution of natural gas here. That’s why wood pellet fuel has become so attractive to northern citizens. It is investigated that the consumption of wood fuel pellets in the Northwest part has reached 15,000 tonnes every year ever since a decade ago. The extreme cold winter 2013 has also pushed people to find more economical and efficient ways to heat their houses. As a result, wood pellet fuel has almost replaced diesel in modern time.

The wood fuel pellets, as proven by facts, are carbon neutral, since the carbon they release can be neutralized by forest growth. Therefore, wood fuel pellets become a greener alternative compared to diesel.

The wood pellet production factories in the north have determined to enlarge their production scale and got funds from the government. They said there was an increasing interest among business owners and residents in wood pellets fuel as an alternative heating solution. So, these factories also hope wood pellets will account for 10-15% of the territory’s energy consumption.

In fact, making wood fuel pellets at home with a small pellet machine is also an excellent idea. Many homes have tried this and are satisfied with their own wood fuel pellets. If you are also interested, just consult us.
