From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia pellets. Pellets are an energy source that is made from wood chips, forest waste, sawmill waste, peat or agricultural waste. In Norway, as well as all production based on wood chips. Strands are heated under pressure and pressed together without the use of binders. One pellet has a diameter of 12.6 mm. Normally the pellets used in pellet stoves and small heating plants. In larger systems can benefit briquettes instead of pellets. Contents [hide] 1 Calorific value 2 Norwegian production 3 Norwegian consumption 4 References calorific value [edit source] According to Norwegian Standard NS 3165, the energy content in wood pellets (group 1) be at least 16 , 9 MJ / kg (4.7 kWh / kg) and moisture content must be a maximum of 10%. [1] Normally, Norwegian pellets produced from spruce or pine. These species have slightly lower calorific value than birch. If the pellets are burned in a chimney with an efficiency of 85%, the effective energy content of 4.0 kWh. kg. With a pellet price of example. £ 3.00 pr. kg responds to a fuel price of 75 cents / kWh. Norwegian production [edit source] The Norwegian production in 2010 was 45,100 tons. In addition, imports of 14,000 tons. Exports have fallen sharply in recent years and in 2010 was less than 1000 tons. [2] Both in Canada and the United States is built pellets factories to export to the European market. [3] The North American commodity prices and large-scale production make economic in Norwegian pellet production is under pressure. Sawmill waste form the basis for a large part of the North American pellet production. Several Norwegian pellets manufacturers have therefore over the years set production. [4] These had a capacity of a few tens of thousand tons per year. However, a Norwegian company established large-scale production of pellets for the European market. It is BioWood Averøya in Møre and Romsdal. The production is based on imported wood. The capacity of the plant is 450,000 tons per year and was officially opened in June 2010 [5] The plant, however, had major technical problem after startup so that production will first start fully in 2011 [6] Norwegian consumption [edit source] Pellets supplied in small bags (12-16 kg), large bags (700-1000 kg) and bulk. Price including VAT (2011) is located at 3.40 NOK / kg in small bags, 3.20 NOK / kg in large sacks and 2,700 / tonne in bulk. [7] The total sales of pellets has increased in recent years. In 2010 it was 58,500 tons. The increase in consumption of pellets is because there are several heating plants that use pellets. The sale in bulk (both domestic and export) has therefore increased and in 2010 reached almost 40,000 tonnes, which is a doubling since 2006 Sales in FIBC has been declining since the peak in 2006 and was the scant 1,300 tonnes in 2010, sales of pellets in small bags however, has varied from year to year but is still roughly half the peak year of 2006 and in 2010 was just over 18,000 tonnes. [8] Pellets burn very clean with very low levels of soot and particles. The burning of pellets takes place in a special Pellet or pellet. Allergy sufferers and asthmatics who are bothered by burning wood, can often adapt to heating with Pellet. autumn 2006 approved the Norwegian government to provide financial support to purchase Pellet.
