Please stop expanding the wood pellet industry – it’s a false climate solution that is dirtier than coal at the smokestack.
Articles I concerning this topic done by reputable organizations such as M.I.T - and not -the wood pellet industry - indicate this is not a good idea. The UK has experimented with burning pellets and is backtracking.
The Daily Mail said on October 7. 2014. "... it is “lunacy” to run Drax power station on biomass instead of coal. Converting the plant to burn wood destroys forests and emits more carbon, it says. The paper calls this a “living, humming, forest-destroying symbol of the shameful absurdity of European energy policies”.
