Make wood energy competitive
The financial studies are only carried out using known economic parameters, such as the cost of energy, the cost of manpower and prices of materials.The financial studies are only carried out using known economic parameters, such as the cost of energy, the cost of manpower and prices of materials.
The investment of automated wood heating is 2.5 to 3 times more expensive than a traditional oil or gas system, due notably to the low level of economies of scale available from such a small market and the type of installation.
These studies do not take into account external elements such as CO², or greenhouse gas emissions.
According to studies by Yves Martin (Rio conference), the tax applied to these sorts of emissions should be around 20€ per tonne of CO² produced; which would increase the price of reference energies by some 15%. Installations in the Charente
