Our undertaking
Our commitment to the environment has led us to develop this new fuel and now inspires our efforts to make local authorities aware that a total change to the pellet is not only ecological (positive for our planet), but makes economic sense (low cost) too.
Space heating and hot water production are their largest expenditures in energy terms.
Reducing this bill and controlling energy costs remains nothing more than a pious hope if one continues to rely on fossil-based fuels.
Here again, the answer of ZETA is clear:
- Very significant reduction in the cost of energy
- Reduced taxation compared to fossil products
- Enormous reduction in CO2 emissions
- Total control over the price of pellets, not indexed to Stock Exchange movements
- Secure prices for 3- to 5-year periods
- Very significant support grants
- Sustainable raw materials
A local authority, a low-cost social housing organisation, a high school, a hospital complex, they can all easily convert their heating systems to the use of ZETA pellets.
In general, local authority heating supply networks are in good condition. The changeover is, therefore, limited to the replacement of the boiler and the installation of a pellet-feeding system.
The opportunity is exactly the same for an industrial plant (E.g. horticultural greenhouses).
With the know-how and skills of our boiler manufacturing partners behind you, the conversion of boilers from heating oil or gas to pellets, or a combination of these possibilities, is made technically simple.
Each potential user first receives a detailed feasibility study and a full financial forecast,
based on an analysis of the waste, quantities available, seasonality of supplies, full pellet specifications and operational modelling.
ZETA selects optimum production formula and quality of the pellet and develops the control specifications (LHV test, ash analysis, atmospheric emissions, etc.) before proposing a partnership contract with the final client.
Taking account of the diversity of the raw materials, technological development means that the boilers can be adapted to pellets with local characteristics, avoiding all environmental pollution.
The payback period for the investment is between 18 and 36 months and drops to a lot less when grants available from the State and the European Union are fed into the equation.
Example : to heat a 1000 sq m -building, about 20 tonnes of pellets are required each year.
The simplified calculator at the top of the page works out the size of your bill and defines your future requirements for ZETA pellets, compared to the fossil fuels you burn at present.
The ZETA pellets, by their very nature, are going to produce ash.
A recuperation system mounted on the boiler optimises their transfer to an ash bin with up to six months capacity. The pellet supply contract can include provision for recovery of the ash, which is turned into an added value item, by compacting it into mini briquettes soluble in water that are used as natural fertiliser complement for plants.
ZETA is renewable energy in the real sense of the term
- Collection of vegetal waste as soon as it is created
- Transformation of the waste into pellets
- The pellets are a fuel neutral in terms of greenhouse gas
- The ash residue from burning the pellets is turned into fertiliser
- The fertiliser encourages plant growth
- The plant growth undergoes pruning in some form or other as a natural and necessary aid to its preservation and stimulus to its growth
