2011| 10 | 10 Wood Pellet Campaign

With the scope of the first North-Rhine Westphalian “Week of Wood Pellets”, Lea Schmitz and Christine Andersen took part in a journalists’ excursion on 6 October 2011. The tour, organized by the EnergyAgency.NRW, began by visiting a wood pellet factory. Together with the Minister for Climate Protection of North-Rhine Westphalia, Johannes Remmel, and around a dozen journalists, both were able to follow how saw dust could become an environmentally responsible fuel. Subsequently, an owner of a pellet boiler opened up his basement boiler room in order to report to the interested visitors about his experience with the small pellets.
