Okay, but automatic => standardization in size and density: this is the granule :-)

What is missing is a machine for grinding, drying and granulating on a domestic or even municipal scale. It is development work, not so simple, but without technical obstacle.

In fact, I can imagine the dry sawdust toilets, which also grind all organic household waste and granulate them: the toilets become a source of energy, with enormous savings in water and much less pollution (cf. stories of hormones not filtered by treatment plants).

Lack more than a pellet boiler with electric co-generation :-)

It exists (but I doubt it will be profitable with the price of the pellets - unless there is a subsidized feed-in tariff - which I do not know).

If there is indeed a "subsidized" feed-in tariff for micro cogé ... but far, very far, from those of solar PV ...

In the Bouches du Rhône, we have the entire petrochemical and chemical industry around the Etang de Berre (BP at Lavéra, Shell at Berre, Total at La Mède for refineries), naphtachemistry, etc.
We also have chemistry around Peypin.
Without counting on Fos the other industries (Arcelor Mittal), cement factories (including also in Gardane) ...

Brief sun, wind, sea and industrial pollution.
Bon le Mistral regularly sweeps all this over the Mediterranean. This is not the case for the Lyonnaise or Parisienne regions.

This is no excuse either. In Bhopal too, the wind has cleaned up.

It was a simple observation. On Mistral days the air quality is good.
The other days it degrades. We can even have ozone alerts in winter.

It's the start of the heating period (I'm having my first outbreaks right now, it's nice to see the fire dancing!), So I updated the file, here are all the pages of the file:

I do not think I am wrong in saying that it is a most complete dossier (including the links, some point to discussions of the forum) on firewood existing on the French-speaking net: by its details and the variety of its content ...

I installed a boiling wood stove 18 months ago, 8.5 kW by radiant, and 7.5 kW with water, no production of hot water, and a 500L buffer tank.
The disadvantage of wood is to load the fireplace regularly, and to "lug" the wood.

If it is 10 ° outside, and I am there to properly load the stove during the day, I start the gas boiler for 30 minutes, 1 time around 2 am and once around 5:30 am.

I have roughly 50-60% of consumption in wood, and 40-50% of gas, but 30-35% less on the heating bill.
