Pellet fuel as an economical way of heating

The cost of gas heating is constantly rising, and heating rooms with electricity is also not cheap. For this reason, more and more people are looking for an alternative and choosing solid fuel heating.

One of the most attractive solid fuels are heating pellets, which can be produced not only from sawdust, but also from hay, straw or sunflower husks. There are plenty of these raw materials in Poland. Therefore, pellets are quite inexpensive, and also easy to transport and store. Heating pellets are classified as renewable energy sources, which also makes them an ecological type of fuel. People who decide to buy a boiler or a pellet burner also have the opportunity to take advantage of government subsidies or tax relief.

Production of fuel pellets

Fuel pellets are granulated in a pellet machine, also known as a pellet granulator. After purchasing a pellet machine, you can produce fuel pellets yourself, the production cost of which is low, because the raw materials for such pellets can be obtained even for free. In this way, within a year, the purchase of the pellet machine will fully pay off, and it will serve for many years, which will provide long-term savings on heating costs.

In addition, if we have at least a small sawmill, then by buying a pellet mill, we can create quite a profitable business, producing pellets from shavings, sawdust and other raw materials. In this way, with a small investment, we can obtain an additional source of income.

Pellet production - permits

If you are planning to buy a pellet machine, it is worth finding out whether you will need to obtain an environmental permit. The exact guidelines depend primarily on the size of the pellet production line and the type of raw material being processed. In the case of large installations, a decision on environmental conditions is required, which is issued by the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection (RDOŚ).

Preparation for pellet production

It is worth remembering that pellet production requires some preparation. In order to effectively use a pellet machine and obtain the best quality fuel pellets, it is necessary to set the appropriate parameters. The moisture content of the raw materials is also an important factor. It is worth remembering that each type of raw material requires a special matrix with a specific thickness and hole diameter. More information on pellet production and operation of the pellet machine can be found in the article: Secrets of pellet production. How to produce pellets?.


In summary, pellet fuel is a great alternative to traditional heating methods. It allows you to reduce heating costs and reduce the impact on the environment, and at the same time is efficient and safe. Before you start producing pellets for your own use, you should obtain the necessary permits and familiarize yourself with the production process.
