Wood pellets are a type of biomass fuel made from compressed sawdust, wood shavings, and other wood waste materials. They are typically produced by compressing wood waste into small cylindrical pellets, which are then packaged and sold for use as a fuel source in residential and commercial heating systems.

Wood pellets are a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. They produce fewer emissions and are considered to be carbon-neutral, as the carbon dioxide released during combustion is offset by the carbon dioxide absorbed by the trees that the pellets are made from.

Wood pellets are commonly used in pellet stoves and boilers, which burn the pellets to produce heat for homes and businesses. They are also used in industrial heating and power generation systems.

Wood pellets are relatively inexpensive and widely available, making them a popular choice for those looking to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and transition to more sustainable energy sources. However, it’s important to note that the production and transportation of wood pellets can still have environmental impacts, and that other renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power may be even more sustainable in some cases.
