“Pellet fuel is a renewable, clean-burning and cost
stable home heating alternative currently used
throughout North America. It is a biomass product made
of renewable substances – generally recycled wood waste.
There are approximately 800,000 homes in the U.S. using
wood pellets for heat, in freestanding stoves, fireplace
inserts and even furnaces. Pellet fuel for heating can
also be found in such large-scale environments as
schools and prisons. North American pellets are produced
in manufacturing facilities in Canada and the United
States, and are available for purchase at fireplace
dealers, nurseries, building supply stores, feed and
garden supply stores and some discount merchandisers. In
short, pellet fuel is a way to divert millions of tons
of waste from landfills and turn it into energy.”–
