Question for the user
What is the annual wood pellet consumption of your household?
Input help
💡 Tip: on average, 1kg of pellets produce 4.6 kWh. So you can multiply your annual consumption (in tons) by 4600 kWh.
Notes
The default value here is a priori largely overestimated. Indeed, the data used CEREN) reflect poorly the reality of wood energy. The data on wood consumption of households aggregates both data on pellets (efficient in terms of combustion) and on wood logs in open fireplaces (poor performance).
And so it is likely that if the discrimination by type of firewood was made in the CEREN data (for kWh consumed and surface heated) we would end up with a much lower value in kWh/m2 for pellets than for wood logs.
