Biomass heating
Environmentally friendly wood pellet heating
Heating with pellets is considered to be particularly environmentally friendly, cheap and efficient, thanks to their excellent energy and fuel values. Pellets are also much easier to store than, for example, wood logs or wood chips.
Our innovative pellet boilers provide carbon-neutral heating for any home – much cheaper than oil or gas. The many benefits of pellet boilers make them one of the most popular biomass heating options.
Major advantages at a glance:
When using pellets:
- Crisis-proof: local fuel
- Short transport routes
- Easy storage: either in pellet bags or in pellet trucks
- Dust-free and odourless refilling
- Little space required for storage
- Efficient and environmentally friendly pellet boilers
Pellets are the best form of heating compared to fossil fuels.
