A modern pellet stove. A pellet stove is a stove that burns compressed wood or biomass pellets to create a source of heat for residential and sometimes industrial spaces. By steadily feeding fuel from a storage container (hopper) into a burn pot area, it produces a constant flame that requires little to no physical adjustments.
Pellet heating system standing in a cellar. Pellet boilers are used as central heating systems for heat requirements (heating load) of more than 3.9 kW . But pellet central heating systems are not only used in single- or two-family homes (up to 30 kW), but also for larger residential or business units with heat requirements of a few hundred kW.
There are three general types of pellet heating appliances: free standing pellet stoves, pellet stove inserts and pellet boilers.

Biomass (in the context of energy generation) is matter from recently living (but now dead) organisms which is used for bioenergy production. There are variations in how such biomass for energy is defined, e.g. only from plants, [8] or from plants and algae, [9] or from plants and animals. [10]
