The world today is in hard times, unemployment is rising month after month, more companies are going under, fuel prices persist to rise and there is still the issue of tackling climate change before its too late. Wouldn?t it be brilliant if there were a answer to address all these issues in one go? Well it does, and it?s in the form of firewood energy pellets and other biomass energy pellets. Wood and biomass pellets are a alternative form of fuel and also are regarded as carbon neutral, as they do not place additional carbon dioxide into the air.

Lumber and all biomass is part of the current carbon cycle, as the biomass grows it consumes carbon, and through combustion the carbon is released for new biomass to consume. However, the ash, which remains, is an exceptional soil conditioner, to improve crop growth. Through this process is actually turns using biomass as a energy source into a carbon negative method, potentially reversing climate change due to disproportionate carbon.

However biomass and wood in their raw form are not an ideal fuel source, they are awkward to deal with, transport and burn efficiently. However by promotion them into pellets you turn them into a high value, highly efficient fuel source that is easy to control and transport.

So how can biomass and wood pellets help the country and provide jobs. Well biomass and wood residue cannot only be grown in about any location; there are currently still huge amounts of woody residues simply sent to landfill. An entire trade and industry sector could be developed where this wood is collected, processed and dispersed as energy pellets. The whole collection and manufacture process could take place in the vicinity, and the fuel used locally. This has major economic and environmental benefits. Significantly the jobs will be long term, stable jobs in the energy sector.

Another key advantage of local energy loops is lower fuel prices. Currently oil and gas prices are high and we gather no local benefits for their production or sale. Local biomass fuel pellets would not only keep energy prices low, every time you purchased pellets, you are directly supporting your local region.

Many other local biomass residues can also be processed into fuel pellets, and these include food crops residues. Local straw crops for example can be harvested, and the food can be sent off and the remainder used for fuel. Currently most wheat, barley and corn straw residues are seen as a waste issue, when they could be used for fuel and generate two forms of income from one crop. This in term would make local small-scale food crop production more practical, and economically feasible.
