Puuhakejärjestelmä

Puuhakejärjestelmä refers to a wood chip heating system. These systems are used for generating heat and electricity, primarily in Finland, by burning wood chips as fuel. The process involves drying, chipping, and transporting wood to the power plant or heating facility. At the plant, the wood chips are combusted in a boiler, producing steam that drives turbines for electricity generation or is used directly for district heating. The fuel source for puuhakejärjestelmä typically comes from forest residues, logging byproducts, or energy wood plantations. This renewable energy source offers an alternative to fossil fuels and contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The efficiency and environmental impact of these systems are subject to ongoing research and development, focusing on optimizing combustion processes and minimizing particulate emissions. Wood chip heating systems are an important component of Finland's renewable energy strategy.
