You like to nuance ... Burning wood, it releases CO2. I do not recommend getting your head oxygenated in the fireplace: idea:
There, I am very disappointed with your somewhat brutal reaction!
Everyone - or almost everyone - also knows that plants have absorbed the CO² that their combustion rejects before they are burned. We are indeed in a CO² neutral cycle, with the nuance near the upstream / downstream of the sector. AND indeed, depending on whether you use biomass, gas, fuel to dry sawdust, the balance at this level is more or less good.
I agree, the nuance is of a certain size: roughly 10% of the energy value of the pellets (10% of fossil energy used to harvest sawdust, transport it, dry it, compress the pellets, deliver them. measured in energy, relative to the energy of the pellets ...).
But where the pellets are "disadvantaged" by transport (note that fuel is also transported, over distances not bad at all, especially if you start from crude oil!), Wood chipped is by grinding. It has not escaped your notice that industrial crushers are not with a moped engine!
I lost almost all my (digital) files in the crash of my previous computer. I will do my research again and put the data to you.
Ditto for your "for VOCs, that's kif kif". Because it is much more difficult to burn wet material than dry organic material. Since you talk about putting your head above the chimneys, put it over a wood fue in the Boy Scouts, and VOCs, you will smell them! So, it's not kif kif. This is 2 or 3 times more for chipped wood compared to pellets (with a great variability depending on the humidity of the chips).
I remind you: I'm not against platelets, I'm not as "ultra for" as you. I maintain: they have drawbacks, particularly in terms of volumes, handling and emission rates. AND it's not by making disinformation like it's kif kif that you will be able to change something.
To be complete, always for the readers who would arrive here from a search engine: the pellets are more expensive (about 2 times) per caloric unit, we are linked to an industrial sector, the balance sheet (carbon, energy ) degrades when transport distances increase. But their combustion is cleaner, including for emissions other than CO² (but about 3 times lighter than fuel oil or gas, which are not CO² neutral).
It’s complicated when you don’t hide your face!
