Peat fuel

Peat fuel

It is environmentally friendly solid fuel harvested in Lithuania and rated as bio-fuel. Peat produces more heat than widely used wood. Peat fuel may be used in various types of solid fuel boilers, ovens or fireplaces. Moreover, peat ashes are regarded as an excellent fertiliser improving soil quality.

 Lump peat fuel

Lump peat fuel is produced from intermediate type of peat with segmentation level is not lower than 25%. This solid fuel is easy to combust, it may be used in solid fuel boilers, fireplaces etc. It is also one of the cheapest fuels in Lithuania. Coal (up to 65%) and oxygen (up to 30%) prevail in the chemical formula of this peat. Lump peat may be divided into lumps of various dimensions (e.g. 300x130x110 mm) and may contain up to 10% of particles. Lump peat fuel is harvested at Pabalvė, Šepetą, Aliai, Kalniškiai and Lebeliai peatbogs.

Peat fuel semibriquettes

Peat fuel semibriquettes are regarded as solid fuel of excellent quality and are produced from low-marshy crumbled peat of high segmentation. Raw material for peat semibriquettes is harvested at Pabalvė peatbog, which is probably the only bog in Lithuania where peat moss contains such a high level of heat. The peat is dried up to 22% of moisture; then peat is pressed into semibriquettes of fine forms (180 x 80 x (30-70) mm).
