Firewood – The Traditional and Sustainable Solution
Firewood has been one of the most widely used fuels for centuries and is still very popular today. Not only is it a reliable and excellent source of heat, it is also a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to modern heating solutions. The use of locally available firewood from renewable sources not only results in lower carbon emissions than fossil fuels, but also helps to maintain a healthy balance of forests.
Our company is a continuous supplier of split pine and beech firewood, cut to 33 cm lengths in bulk.
On request, the length of the logs can be varied from 25 to 50 cm, and we also pack the firewood in pallets or big-bag bags.
Beech wood (Fagus sylvatica) is a hardwood species with an excellent calorific value, which makes it very popular as a fuel.
The calorific value of beech wood has the following characteristics:
- Dry beech wood calorific value: about 4.0 – 4.3 kWh/kg (at 15-20% moisture content).
- Volumetric density: Beech is one of the densest woods, which means that much more energy can be extracted from the same volume of wood than from many other wood species.
- Calorific value: about 17 MJ
Picea Abies is a commonly used fuel in our region. Pinewood has a lower density and energy content than hardwoods (such as beech). However, due to its lower density and high resin content, it ignites more easily, resulting in intense combustion and faster heat development.
The calorific value of pine wood has the following characteristics:
- calorific value of dry pine wood: 2,5 – 3,5 kWh/kg (with 15-20% moisture content).
- Calorific value: about 11-14 MJ/kg.
