Whether burning pellets is environmentally friendly depends on how the biomass pellet boiler is used. If the following situations occur, the answer is not environmentally friendly:

No flue gas treatment equipment installed:
Biomass pellets have diverse sources and complex fuel composition (containing nitrogen, sulfur, etc.). Combustion emits large amounts of NOx, SOx, and dust → harms the environment and human health. Thus, pellet boilers must be equipped with proper flue gas treatment systems.

False advertising ("selling dog meat labeled as mutton"):
Boilers claimed to burn pellets but actually combust coal, waste furniture, paper, or garbage → causes non-compliant emissions and severe pollution.
