| Boiler-based Industries | โน2,006.06 | โน7,377.66 | โน4,654.12 |
๐ Biomass Pellets save up to 73% compared to LPG and 57% compared to PNG!
Here is the bar chart comparing cost savings between Biomass Pellets, LPG, and PNG for industrial heating across different industries:
- Biomass Pellets (Green) offer the lowest cost, making them the most cost-effective fuel.
- LPG (Red) is the most expensive, increasing operational expenses significantly.
- PNG (Blue) is cheaper than LPG but still higher than Biomass Pellets.
๐ Key Takeaway:
โ
Switching to Biomass Pellets can save up to 73% compared to LPG and 57% compared to PNG.
