Wood pellets range in energy from just under8000 to almost 9000 btu/lb.Figures for sawdust and woodchips are based on an energy value for oven dry eucalypthardwood of about 19Kj/g. Figuresfor energy value by weight for softwoods such as pine, would be about10% higher.Figures were converted to energy values at variousmoisture contentsusing the formula EV (energy value @ mc%) = EV(od)*(100-(MC/8))/(100+MC)Density of wood reflect approximate averages for common East coast Australian hardwoods.Green density varies considerablyless than air dry density (700- to 900+), relfecting variation in moisturecontents of 'green' timber.Bulk Density of woodchips and sawdust are taken to be 50% and 33% of the originalwoods density respectively.1 - Co2 emission factors fromwww.gas.asn.Australia/gas1.htm2 - Co2 emission factors from Oz instenergy site35.315 cu foot per cu metrejoules per1055.056 British thermal units(International table)x 1055.056btuBtu (th) x 1054.350Btu (mean) x 1055.87http://www.woodgas.com/fuel_densities.htm (2 of 4) [10/9/2008 08:23:13]
