Wood is nothing but stored solar power.
With the burning this energy is again set free. At the same time only as much carbon dioxide is again released, as was stored during growth.
Wood is a domestic and nearly inexhaustible energy source!
Heat with pellets – protect the environment!
Trees produce oxygen and extract CO2 from the atmosphere
Trees are highly developed chemical factories. During the day they take up carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil. By using the energy of the sun, they produce sugar from these materials. This procedure is called photosynthesis. The trees use the sugar molecules to make cellulose for further growth and repair the already existing cell structures.
In this way the tree can grow. The sugar molecules serve also as „fuel “for other chemical metabolic processes: the development of resins, waxes, odoriferous substances, enzymes, hormones and pigments.
During „the nightshift “, when no solar power is available, the tree uses its energy reserves and raw material supplies, in order to keep the metabolic procedures going. Thus it contributes to the fact that the terrestrial atmosphere remains in a dynamic equilibrium.
Only at the end of the lifetime of the tree, when decomposition starts the carbon stored in the wood is transferred to the atmosphere again.
With the rotting the same amount of CO2 develops as during the wood burn.
Therefore energy from wood is called CO2-neutral. The carbon dioxide developing with the burn is again taken up by the growing trees, a never ending cycle in a lasting wood culture.
The pellet heating is a particularly pollution free heating system, which can cover the heat requirement of buildings completely or in combination with other regenerative energy sources.
Auf Grund der CO2 -neutralen Verbrennung leisten Pelletheizanlagen einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Minderung des globalen Treibhauseffektes.
Due to the CO2-neutral burning pellet heating systems contribute to the reduction of the global greenhouse effect. By the employment of modern burn technology and by way of the continuous monitoring of the fuel quality a homogeneous fuel for a low-pollution burn is supplied. Thus a contribution is made to clean air in the region.
