Content SummaryWood pellets or chips as modern fuel sources can differ significantly regarding their origin, particle size, humidity etc. Wood fuels can be pumped into storage just like fuel oils, and they are renewable and cost-effective ones. The aim of the current paper is to evaluate the thermal use of bio-fuels in the domestic sector as an economical feasible and environmental-friendly application. Specific scenarios for biomass usage in household heating systems are deployed. The evaluation is based on environmental and economic criteria. Considering the economic investigation, the investment in a biomass heating system for a residence is economically attractive, even if it is going to replace an existing oil system. The increased oil cost and the compensations due to the reduction of Greenhouse Gases Emissions are the most significant reasons for this choice.en
