Woodfuel is a biomass used as a fuel, wich makes it biofuel, and its from the baulk of wood, sticks or roots. It’s usually solid,but it can be turned into a biogas. Energy in the wood is used by burning, wich creates warmth or electricity or both.

Wood is Finnish natural resource, wich doesnt increase carbonoxide discharges when burnt, because trees bind carbon- oxide wich is released from burning progress. The nitrogen discharges varies from the way of burning. Ashes from the burning progress can be used as a fertilizer.

Hake
Very small pieces of wood cutted by machine.

Opressed little pellets from sawdust
Puubriketit

Peat, a special component in Finnish energy supply

Peat is formed from dead plants by mouldering in a very clammy circumstance. Due to lack of air and plenty of water, the plants are unable to disintigrate properly and like this it becomes peat. The consistency and structure of peat varies greatly along with (kasvilajikoostumus) and degree of moulder.

In Finland peat is defined as a slowly renewable biomass, because the time it takes to renew is 2000-3000 years.

Well mouldered and therefore lots of energy including peat is good for energy Peat is used to provide warmth and electricity. Peat deposits are found notably in Russia, Ireland, Scotland, northern Germany and Scandinavia, and in North America, principally in Canada, Michigan and the Florida Everglades.

In Finland, there is about 9 mil.hectares of peatland. Peat wich is suitable for the production of peat, is estimated to be about 1,4 mil. hectares. Peat is traditionally tought of as a dependable source of energy and as a high-quality finnish fuel, even tought the amount of peat has been decreased.
