Abstract

Clean burning wood fuel pellets. The clean burning wood fuel pellet includes a mixture containing wood chips and calcium carbonate.

1 . A clean burning wood fuel pellet comprising:
 a mixture containing wood chips and calcium carbonate.   
     
     
         2 . The clean burning wood fuel pellet according to  claim 1 , wherein the mixture includes between about 0.2 to 2.0% weight of the calcium carbonate. 
     
     
         3 . The clean burning wood fuel pellet according to  claim 1 , wherein the calcium carbonate has a particle size between 0.2 mesh and 35 microns. 
     
     
         4 . The clean burning wood fuel pellet according to  claim 1 , wherein the clean burning wood fuel pellet emits heat, water, and carbon dioxide during combustion. 
     
     
         5 . The clean burning wood fuel pellet according to  claim 1 , wherein the clean burning wood fuel pellet have a length/diameter ratio of 2:1. 
     
     
         6 . A method for producing clean burning wood fuel pellets, the method comprising the steps of:
 mixing calcium carbonate and wood chips to form a mixture; and   forming pellets with the mixture.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising the step of drying the wood chips prior to mixing with calcium carbonate. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the mixture includes between about 0.2 to 2.0% weight of the calcium carbonate. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising the step of cutting the wood chips to ¼ of an inch prior to mixing with the calcium carbonate. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the calcium carbonate has a particle size between 0.2 mesh and 35 microns.
