Wood Pellets

Pellets with uniform size, shape, moisture content, density and energy content? Why not simply burn the raw wood waste rather than turn it into pellets?

THE CARBON-NEUTRAL CYCLE

When wood pellets are burned, the same amount of carbon dioxide is released as was captured by the tree during its growth phase. No additional greenhouse gases are emitted, thus it circulates in a renewable, carbon-neutral cycle.

Pinnacle sources waste from timber manufacturing that would otherwise have been left or burned, compresses and engineers the fibres to create wood pellets. These sustainable pellets reduce or replace the need to use fossil fuels or firewood as a heat source.

Arsenic, carbon monoxide, sulphur and carbon dioxide are just a few of the pollutants produced by non-renewable fossil fuels used for heat and energy. Pellets burn more efficiently (system efficiency averages at 80 per cent) than other fuels and emissions from pellet burners meet the most stringent Environmental Protection Act requirements.

Pellets pose none of the environmental risks that spillable fossil fuels do. The remarkable consistency and burn efficiency of pellet fuel produces a fraction of the particulate emissions of raw wood waste. Pellet burners have the lowest particulate matter emissions of all solid-fuel burners.
