Can scrap paper be pelletized for your furnace?

Nobody's mentioned the pollution aspects of home heating. A megawatt
coal plant can use technology that, AFAIK, isn't in a home furnace.
In the 70s I was reading about towns in snow country requiring
catalytic coverters in new construction.


there was a guy here locally who was an inventor and had huge stacks of
waxed cardboard boxes, was stockpiling them, he was developing a furnace
that ran on pelletized waxed cardboard boxes. his neighbors abhorred his
operation and eventually forced him to get rid of his huge piles of waxed
cardboard. was sad. i was hoping he'd succeed.

b.w.
