Jangseong-gun Expands Support Project for Wood Pellet Boilers and Heaters

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 3rd that it will expand the target of this year's eco-friendly wood pellet boiler and heating appliance (stove) support project.

Until last year, the county only supported residential homes, but from this year, it will support not only residential use but also heating appliances for forestry, agriculture, commercial, and resident convenience purposes.

Wood pellets are fuel processed into small granules from wood by-products such as sawdust or waste wood. They are gaining attention as eco-friendly fuel due to their low emissions of carbon dioxide and air pollutants.

Jangseong-gun provides a subsidy of 2.8 million KRW, which is 70% of the purchase cost (4 million KRW), only for wood pellet boiler products registered as distribution targets by the Korea Forest Service.

In addition, heating appliances (stoves) certified with the group standard (SPS-KFIC-A-001-2082) label are eligible for a subsidy of 1.05 million KRW.

Applications can be made at the eup/myeon administrative welfare centers of the installation site, and only one unit per household residing in Jangseong-gun can apply.
