Solid fuel fell compared with last year
The prices of coal and firewood decline compared to last year as a decrease in coal within about 30%, and in firewood prices are lower by about 20 per cent. It said the regional manager for the BTA to Toplivo for Western Bulgaria Ivan Dimitriev. Russian coal this year at prices of 250 leva per ton bulk fuel and 270 leva per ton coal packed, said Dimitriev. Bulgarian coal offered by Toplivo on the stock market in Sofia and Pernik area are and the price BGN 170 per ton. Firewood cost 65 euro for a cubic wood and 75 EUR per cubic cut material. Briquettes run of 240 leva and packed in 230 BGN in bulk, indicated by Toplivo. According Dimitriev sales of stocks of fossil fuels are at levels similar to last year. There is some reduction in demand within 10 percent said Dimitriev. Adding it to lack of funds in public and that the weather was warm recently and people have postponed the purchase of fuel for the winter period, the manager said. According to experts, according to the CC of the home and used for household heating technology can secure heating for the cold months by between 4 and 7 tons of coal and 10 – 20 cubic meters of wood. Most plants appear to be rational with a water jacket to the combustion chamber associated with radiators. The advantage of this type of heating is that it provides comfort at a good price and can be included where the owners wish, the disadvantage is that it requires daily maintenance – loading of fuel material, cleaning and removal of waste. Timber traders commented on the BTA that essential for the proper combustion of the wood is their humidity – the lower it is, the higher energy they are. Therefore it is good wood for firewood to be cut into billets of a roof as possible in a long time before use to dry. Further drying of the stored firewood in the oven for a few days to a week, helps to reduce the maximum humidity. If kept under the open sky or in neprovetrivi premises and no extra distance between lines firewood fuel lost its value, experts indicate.
