Pellets: A sustainable alternative for energy production

Pellets are playing an increasingly important role in the renewable energy scenario and are the most economical and efficient option for producing thermal energy. Its use covers several sectors, such as:

- domestic (stoves, heat recovery stoves, boilers),

- services (hospitals, nursing homes, IPSS, schools, multi-sports facilities, swimming pools, hotels),

- agri-food industry (bakery, meat processing, suckling pig roasters),

- manufacturing industry (textile, resins),

- agricultural sector (agricultural greenhouses, animal production pavilions).

Furthermore, in the production of electrical energy, pellets are used in thermoelectric plants, replacing coal.

 

Benefits of Pellets

Pellets offer a modern approach to utilizing a 100% natural and renewable resource – the by-products of the sawmill industry. Its characteristics enable easy and safe use in modern heating systems, with high energy efficiency at a low cost. Some advantages of pellets include:

 

1. Renewable and Environmentally Friendly Energy

Pellets are a 100% natural and ecological fuel, with neutral CO2 emissions. Its combustion recovers the CO2 released, makes the carbon cycle closed and contributes to the reduction of global warming and the greenhouse effect.

 

2. Economical and Efficient Energy Source

Pellets are more economical when compared to conventional forms of energy, such as gas, diesel and electricity. As they are produced from clean raw materials with a low moisture content, their combustion is very efficient, bringing them closer to fossil fuels.

 

3. Price Stability

The raw material used in the production of pellets is endogenous, coming from the local sawmill industry, which results in greater price stability in relation to fossil fuels.

4. Ease of Storage and Transport

Pellets are dense and homogeneous, which makes them easy to store and transport in large quantities.

 

5. Contribution to Forest Management and Fire Prevention

The use of pellets reduces the risk of forest fires, as the primary forest biomass from forest cleaning is used in the pellet production process, feeding the boilers necessary for drying the pellets.

Using pellets is a sustainable option that contributes to preserving the environment as well as the effective and responsible management of natural resources.

Enjoy the benefits of pellets and invest in cleaner, more efficient energy!
