Wood heat is used in:
- Stoves, inserts and fireplaces in single-family homes (logs, pellets, briquettes)
- Boilers in collective buildings (pellets, chips),
- Heating systems in heating networks (pellets, chips).
Objectives
In order to mitigate the effects of climate change, if the first challenge for our territory is to reduce energy consumption by buildings and transport, the second is to consume decarbonized energy. The latter represents a 14.5% share of the territory's consumption in 2019, of which only 3.4% is produced locally (5.3% with heat pumps).
A scenario has been defined to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 by increasing the use of renewable energies (RE) produced.
The Plan Climat Air Energie Territorial solidaire (PCAETs) thus displays a target for local renewable energies (produced on the Metropole's territory) covering 44% of energy consumption in 2050.

Example of a realization
The wood-fired boiler room at the Héraclès swimming pool in Saint-Brès.
