Energy from woodfuel changes with varying moisture content. Wight Heat wood briquettes are made from kiln dried wood and have a moisture content of 1 – 2% when bagged.
N.B. These prices are intended for guidance only and represent the typical cost per unit of fuel energy for comparison. This is not the same as cost per unit of delivered heat which will depend on the efficiency of the boiler or stove, and may also include other charges such as service and maintenance for heat supply contracts.
All prices are prone to significant variation with geographical region, tariff choice, order quantities, overall contract size and duration, time of year, delivery distance and time, etc. Woodfuels in particular are available at prices both significantly above and below those quoted, and bulk prices will be subject to a minimum delivery size of perhaps 3-5 tonnes. Wood pellets bought in bags may be significantly more expensive than those bought in bulk.
Delivery method (speed of delivery) also has a pronounced impact on cost per tonne.
