Using wood pellets as a heating fuel is a modern alternative to using logs stoves plus boilers. Wood pellet energy popularity has grown immensely over the last decade, particularly in Sweden, the rest of Europe and the US. This has led to a dramatic amplify in the number biomass pellet manufacturer. The two key factors driving the success of of the wood pellet is price advantage over fossil fuel energy, and drastically reduced carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels. At PelHeat we also try to convey the economic payback that wood pellets can bring. At a time when we call for jobs and economic security more than ever, supporting your local wood pellet manufacturer can provide jobs in addition to keep more money within the local community without spending it abroad on foreign oil. There are however still lessons to be learnt by biomass pellet manufacturers. Specially on the type of pellet fuel they produce and the source of their raw material supplies.

When the recent economic recession started to hit, it was the housing market which took the first major impact. As mortgages dried up, so did the demand for new housing and in tern the demand for timber for construction. Without this timber processing, there was very little supply of the sawdust the wood pellet manufacturer depends on to create premium grade energy pellets. This therefore led to a massive cost rise in the fee of sawdust, as well as supplies were also thin to ground. This lead to wood pellet manufacture coats increasing, plus therefore an enlarge in the charge of pellet energy. Also, when the economic recession hit, oil producers knew that they had to lower their prices. For the oil market this is very simple due the high profit margins. Therefore at a time when people had very little money, the cost of wood pellets went up in addition to the charge of oil fell. This has placed a huge obstacle to the wood pellet manufacturers, which some failed under.

The biomass pellet shortage plus high pellet prices was caused with the market focusing too heavily on only one grade of wood pellet fuel, in addition to ignoring most of the additional resources which can be created into biomass pellets which generate the same heat, but just slightly more ash. Many pellet consumers today would be willing to accept more ash for a cheaper more readily obtainable source of fuel pellets. Though through poor pellet burner designs, many consumers do not even have this choice. Many pellet stove as well as boiler manufactures have also been so focused on the premium pellet market, they build their burners by minimum specifications to only handle low ash pellets. Many also prefer this, as it makes it much cheaper to produce a low ash tolerant wood pellet burner. The wood pellet market needs more divers wood pellet manufacturers. There is a adequate market for locally shaped biomass fuel pellets manufactured from local resources. At PelHeat we specialise in small scale biomass pellet production. Firstly a hammer mill is used to reduce the wood to small particles. These particles are then dried to be then fed into the wood pellet mill. Here under high pressure in addition to heat the pellet is manufactured.
