MnVAP Biomass Fuel Pellets
Minnesota
Valley Alfalfa Producers encourages you to:
Go
GREEN! Stay Warm! Save Money!
by purchasing
and using biomass fuel pellets from MnVAP
and Sunrise
AgraFuels. Biomass fuel pellets are a renewable,
clean-burning, and cost-stable home heating alternative. There
are currently more than 1,000,000 homes in
North American using pellets for heat in freestanding stoves,
corn stoves, fireplace inserts and biomass furnaces. Pellet
fuel for heating can also be found in such large-scale
environments as schools, government buildings, and
prisons.
 MnVAP
and Sunrise
AgraFuels sell biomass fuel pellets
in clean, easy to handle 40 lb. bags, by
the ton, in 2000 lb. tote bags, and bulk
by the truck load. Our pellets are low moisture
which maximizes energy output. This means you carry LESS
fuel and get MORE heat. One bag of pellet fuel equals
2.3 gallons of oil or 3.5 gallons of LP gas. In fact, if you
compare the costs for other heating fuels generating 1 million
BTUs, you will clearly see that our Biomass Fuel Pellets can
save you money.

In
addition, MnVAP and Sunrise
AgraFuels Pellets
have a 10-15% higher energy concentration
than shell corn, and contain a lower moisture level for more
consistent burns, especially at low temperature settings.
The sulfur levels are also lower than shell corn, reducing
the corrosion of exhaust pipes.
