Safe, sustainable, affordable: wood pellets are also the undisputed comfort fuel in Austria in June. A ton of pellets currently costs 300 euros, the price is therefore stable compared to May. Heating oil costs 64.1 percent more, with natural gas it is even 123.3 percent. In addition: In Austria, significantly more pellets are produced with 1.8 million tons than consumed, so the supply of sustainable heating energy is also secured in times of crisis.
„The dramatic war between Israel and Iran and the fear of the West about oil supply and the impending price jump once again shows that switching to safe, domestic and sustainable energy is without an alternative.
“, Says Doris Stiksl, managing director of the industry association Propellet Austria.”We still have 1.3 million oil and natural gas heating in Austria. They have to be exchanged and this must also be a high priority in times of budget consolidation for the government.

Energy transition Win-Win situation for the economy
The safe supply of affordable energy is a crucial location factor for the Austrian economy- at the same time, the energy transition itself is a growth and employment engine, says Stiksl. The 24,000 pellet heaters built in the previous year triggered one billion euros in regional added value and secured 65,000 jobs. “We have to continue this successful path,” says Stiksl. “”The industry is ready to do so, I expect the necessary support from politics.
“
Fill the pellet camps at the latest now
The industry association recommends that households that have not yet done this to use the currently cheap pellet prices and to fill the camps. In any case, it is important to the ENP quality sealcomments® pay attention. “This sign stands for the highest pellet quality in production and delivery,” says Doris Stiksl, “this quality pays off for customers: inside and the environment twice.”
