I am not an expert on the comparative EROI for this question but I would like to comment anyway.<br /><br />I think there needs to be consideration of the comparative impact on carbon emissions. When the wood is converted to wood pellets (involving carbon emission in the production process) and the pellets are combusted to provide heat (with resulting carbon emission and ash C.

It's being turned into wood pellets. The wood pellets are sold mainly to Europe and Asia I believe for use in pellet burners.<br /><br />What's more efficient from a bioconversion standpoint? Using pellets to directly heat homes and water and therefore save on electricity and natural gas (which could be used Kodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966005790226823181noreply@blogger.com
