Pellet production - Import export

Why peat pellets: Because they are simple, environment-friendly and much cheaper or give much more energy for the same money – if you prefer.Peat pellets are produced from raw peat – a decomposed biomass of wood and herbaceous species. Peat bog is like big sink of compost – millions of tons of biomass has been accumulating there for centuries.Peat is widely used as an energy source in Finland – more than 20% of its energy demand is covered by peat. For years peat has not been regarded as serious fuel source because of its higher production costs compared with coal, oil or natural gas. But increasing energy prices in recent years has changed the outlook for peat – it has even become a cheaper energy resource.Traditionally peat is regarded as a high ash fuel. But it is not true in all cases. The peat we use for pellet production has extremely low ash content which is basically found in Baltic’s and Northwest Russia.

One of the greatest products today if we look what it possible with it and the price ! Hay pellets are a relatively new idea in heating and are becoming increasingly popular. Reasons to this vary – increasing energy consumption, rising prices of traditional energy resources, lack of raw material for production of woodchip pellets, development of heating technologies.Hay pellets burn just as well as wood pellets. The efficiency is calculated by the amount burned minus the ash content. So grass based pellets usually have a 1%-2% higher ash content, but after burning the ash can be used as ecological fertilizer in the farming. Not only are the Hay pellets environmentally friendly they’re wallet friendly too! Straw Pellets can be used as heating too but compared to Hay pellets they have formation of slag, hence the necessity to regularly clean the heating boiler.As long as wild natural grasses are grown, Hay will be available, unlike wood which is becoming increasingly expensive.
