Pellet is an economic and alternative form of fuel made from compressed sawdust or other wood byproducts without chemicals. It is a standardized cylindrical fuel that is cheaper than fossil fuels like oil and gas, and more stable in price. Pellets are practical to transport and use automatically, and are ecologically friendly as production does not require cutting trees and combustion is very clean. Factories that produce pellets are located in several regions in Greece including Corinth, Lamia, Ioannina, Western Macedonia, Drama, Veria and Kastoria.

4. Advantages of Pellet
• Practical: it is transported packaged and can
be used with automatic proportioning device
for catering of fire.
• Ecological: a) in order to create pellet there
is no need to cut trees because it is produced
from discarded or recyclable timber, and it is
perfect combustion eliminates the amount of
ash produced. b) It reduces forest residues
from timber production and the furniture
industry.

5. • Cheap: it is cheaper than oil and
electric energy and it presents a
more stable course of price changes.
• It is the most economic fuel: 60% of
the money which someone would
spend for space heating.
• The equivalence of thermal
performance is: 1 lit oil to 2 kg pellet.
