In Komi, a quarter of households heat their homes with stoves or boilers • Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia In the Komi Republic, a quarter of households use stoves or boilers to heat their homes. Most suburban homes are also heated by stoves. At the same time, traditional firewood is increasingly being replaced by pellets and briquettes, Comistat reports. The Republic has significant experience in biofuel production. The production of fuel granules or pellets has been carried out since 2011, and over the past five years the volumes have increased 10 times. The production of fuel briquettes began in 2017, and during this period production has tripled. Currently, wood biofuel is produced by 14 organizations and two individual entrepreneurs. In addition, at the practical business forum “Biofuels of Russia”, which will be held in Syktyvkar on November 15-16, business and government representatives will share their experience in developing the production and use of fuel pellets and briquettes.
