Christophe is right to raise the problem of cost, even if we can say that in terms of ecology, profitability is to be considered differently, is not it Lumberjack and even if we can say that by some time years, anyway, we will have no choice.
Tazzz, you seem reasonable for the moment but many products have prices that are no longer fixed on production price + margin to pay the expenses and live. Indeed, lots of factors come into play for the calculation of prices, just see what is happening now for the determination of the price of tickets for the future TGV is. Many other examples show that new products are coming out and even if they are cheaper to produce than competing products, prices are in fact aligned with them.
And then concerning the production of pellets:
- Initially, this was waste from the wood industry. Subsequently, we can consider that they also come from pruning or wood chips in the forest (provided they are dried). If demand increases as well as the price, there is a risk of seeing pellets from treated wood, pallets, demolition wood, etc. appear on the market, which, in principle, must be disposed of properly. But when you know that a carpenter for example has to pay x € / tonne of treated timber for demolition at a landfill, you understand that if it can bring him money rather than cost him ....... lived example : a grandpa has recovered all of an old treated fir frame to heat up for free in winter. The carpenter was happy, no discharge to pay, and grandpa was happy. Good, well, too bad for the neighbors who will have the happiness of breathing dioxins or other merry things.
