In recent years, the European pellet market has faced significant challenges, but 2024 marked a decisive turning point with a stabilisation that brought tangible benefits for both consumers and the industry. Overcoming the imbalances of previous years has allowed consumer prices to fall, making pellets an even more affordable home heating option than traditional fossil…
Registration is now open for the 15th edition of Progetto Fuoco, the trade fair that will return to Verona from 18 to 21 February 2026 as the international benchmark for biomass heating systems. Progetto Fuoco will promote the entire supply chain: stoves, fireplaces, cookers and barbecues, boilers, large systems, flue systems and components and combustion…
Woody biomass remains one of the most promising solutions for domestic heating in Europe. According to a recent report by the European Commission, wood accounted for 66% of the total biomass used in member countries in 2023. This figure underlines the growing importance of wood as a renewable and sustainable energy source, capable of meeting…
In Italy, sustainable forest management and biomass production are closely linked to reforestation projects, which aim to create a balance between forest exploitation and the regeneration of natural resources. Organisations such as Aiel, Mosaico Verde, Rete Clima and Boschi E.ON are at the forefront of these efforts, ensuring that forests, the source of wood and…
Black roasted pellet technology marks a revolution in the production of biomass for stoves and boilers. Through a process called torrefaction, wood waste and agricultural residues are transformed in a low-oxygen, high-temperature environment (200 °C – 300 °C). This process not only increases the energy density of pellets, but also improves their water resistance, making…
After price spikes in 2022 due to international tensions and uncertainties over raw material supplies, the global pellet market is showing signs of stabilisation, with Europe and Italy at the centre of this development. Price stabilisation and capacity growth The year 2022 was characterised by a surge in pellet prices, caused by geopolitical tensions…
Biomass cookstoves are an environmentally friendly and sustainable choice, using renewable biological materials such as wood, pellets, and agricultural residues. These renewable fuel sources not only help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but also help to decrease environmental impact. Below, we explore the main benefits of biomass cookstoves. Energy efficiency One of the most…
The increasing popularity of biomass plants Recent statistics show a growing interest in biomass heating systems. 59% of people who purchased a new heating system opted for wood and pellet devices as a supplement to their existing heating systems. Among these choices, wood and pellet stoves dominate the market with a preference of 34% and…
Typically, a pellet stove has an average lifespan of between 10 and 15 years, depending on the quality of the product and how well it is maintained. In fact, the longevity of the stove depends on the care with which it is maintained and the use of quality replacement parts. However, even the best pellet…
