It could be an alternative and economical solution following the increase in pellet prices
With the arrival of winter , Italians are increasingly worried about the cost of bills, especially gas . Many families have run for cover by buying pellet stoves , with the consequence that the cost has increased with the increase in demand.
While 15 kg of pellets cost between 3 and 4 euros, currently the same quantity has cost over 10 euros. Fortunately, however, there are valid alternatives to the traditional one that allow you to save, including a little-known type which is the hemp pellet .
Canadians are the first producers of hemp pellets, also creating the first processing plant, even if this practice is also spreading in European countries . This is achieved by processing the hemp stem , separating the materials present in the hemp. The seeds and flowers are then left to dry for a few months, before being shredded.
Compared to the material used, hemp pellets allow the emission of high percentages of heat and the by-product of combustion can be used as fertilizer . It is an economically efficient resource since hemp grows very quickly (it only takes 5 months of growth to be then cut), thus making it a valid ally to counteract expensive energy .
