Some people ask me why pellets will not track oil. Well the simple answer is that oil has little involvment in the production. In Enniskillen there is the UK and Irelands largest producer (not the ONLY producer) of pellets. The use Combined Heat and Power (CHP) production. On site they roughly use 2 tonne of wood chip to produce 1 tonne of pellets.
They have a large wood chip boiler that creates Steam to drive an engine that creates electricity for the factory production. Therefore their production is also carbon neutral.
Yes pellets will rise, but only in line with inflation. The transport of the pellets will affect prices slightly but not significantly. Wood Pellets are currently the official cheapest fuel in the island of Ireland (Sutherland tables Oct 2009). As more people start to produce in GB it will become the cheapest fuel source there too, and when the Renewable Heat Incentive comes in there it will be the cheapest fuel source.
CHP production of pellets is the best way and cheapest way to produce pellets.
