Bioenergy

What is bioenergy?

Nature is amazing. Plants provide life and nourishment for all the animals in nature.

They use solar energy to build carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, and absorb nutrients to build proteins, enzymes, vitamins, fiber, strong structures, tall trees and beautiful flowers.

Natural materials are carbon-neutral, which means that carbon dioxide emissions from combustion are balanced by nature’s growth. In this way, they do not contribute to the greenhouse effect, unlike non-renewable (fossil) fuels that have been outside nature’s cycle for millions of years.

Tired of high electricity and oil bills? Then heating with wood pellets is a great option for you. If you also want the best comfort, Kardonar has the optimal pellet heating system for you. Kardonar’s range includes pellet burners, pellet stoves and complete pellet heating systems.

Pellet heating is more cost-effective than ever. At current prices, you save over 50% on heating costs compared with oil and electricity. Pellet prices are stable and independent of international conflicts, unlike electricity and oil prices. Wood pellets are a locally produced, environmentally friendly fuel.

Why bioenergy?

Some people believe that bioenergy is not as environmentally friendly as solar and hydropower. They are wrong. Bioenergy is just as renewable as solar, wind and hydropower - it does not increase the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. Bioenergy can be seen as stored solar energy; plants convert some of the sun’s energy into chemical compounds that can be used later.

Finland has extensive forests whose trees provide abundant renewable bioenergy in various forms. Much of our bioenergy comes from wood chips, bark and sawdust, but also from branches, treetops and other by-products of logging. Processing wood for energy creates jobs throughout the country - not just at the beginning of the processing chain, that is, in rural areas. Increased domestic energy supply also provides security in the event of potential foreign energy crises.
