Why Buy Wood Pellets?

Today more and more people are moving from oil and gas heating systems on to wood pellet systems. However many people are still unaware of the benefits of wood pellets, and the reasons to buy wood pellets.

Renewable Energy

Wood pellets are a form of renewable energy, as they are produced from wood residues. Therefore the wood resources can be re-grown and replaced, to meet future demand. Fossil fuels such as oil and gas on the other hand are forms of none renewable energy, as they take thousands and millions of years to develop. Our rate of consumption of fossil fuels, and global population increase will deplete gas and oil reserves within the next generation. Buying wood pellets helps to save reserves of oil and gas, and is a sustainable form of energy.

Alternative Energy

Fossil fuels such as oil and gas are partly responsible for climate change and global warming. Fossil fuels such as oil and gas place additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which reflects the suns energy and increases global temperatures. Wood pellets on the other hand are part of the current carbon cycle, and do not place any additional carbon into the atmosphere. They are therefore regarded as a carbon neutral form of energy. Therefore another reason to buy wood pellets is to play a proactive role in tackling climate change.

Wood Pellet Prices

The price of wood pellets is competitive or cheaper to the price of oil and particularly gas. It must also be remembered the price of oil and gas will only increase in the long term due to increased demand due to population increase, and reduced resources. Also due to their effect on climate change, higher taxes will soon be placed on oil and gas.

Energy Security

Another clear reason to buy wood pellets instead of buying oil and gas, is supporting energy security. Currently the majority of our oil and gas supply is not meet by national resources, therefore we have to source the majority of our energy from Russia and the middle east. This therefore has led to unstable prices, and excessive energy prices. Wood pellets are produced within the country, and prices are much more stable, and our energy is within our control.

Another major reason to buy wood pellets, is it supports the local economy and provides jobs. Jobs are created in the collection of resources, processing the wood into pellets, and then distributing these pellets to the customer. Therefore when you buy wood pellets you support the local and national economy, which keeps your money within the country.
