Wood Pellets And Biomass Pallets: Energy Production From Renewable Materials

Wood pellets are an eco-friendly solid fuel made from compacted sawdust and related industry waste from the milling of lumber. Wood pellets have many advantages over fossil fuel as they are produced from renewable materials such as wood shaving and sawdust. They are utilized in varied settings and applications, such as home heating appliances and large-scale boilers in commercial operations. Wood pellets are available in a smaller size, easy to store and produce a minimal amount of ash.

The global wood pellet industry has witnessed the significant expansion of global key players, with diverse product portfolios. Moreover, the easy availability of raw materials such as timber and compacted sawdust and the low cost of production are major factors boosting the demand for wood pellets. Rising environmental concern about greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in regions such as the United States and Europe has increase the popularity of wood pallets globally. The wood pellets market is witnessing growth on account of increased consumer awareness regarding the product benefits, such as complete combustion, cleaner burning fuel as compared to fossil fuels and reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. However, the availability of substitutes and lack of awareness in developing countries are the primary factor hampering the growth of the market.

Biomass pellets are biomass fuels derived from solid waste, agricultural residue, and forestry residue. Some of the commonly used raw materials in the production of biomass pellets include sawmill residue, tree barks, branches, leaves, rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell, cotton stalk, etc. Biomass pellets are used as biofuels for commercial and residential heating, power generation, cooking, and other applications. Biomass pellets are clean burning and renewable sources of fuel, which generally emit less particulate emissions. Click To Get Sample PDF Biomass pellets Biomass pellets have a high calorific value. The calorific value of carbonized wood pellets is in the range of 7000 to 8000Kcal/kg and is extensively used as fuel for industrial boilers. These biomass pellets can be directly burnt in the coal firing boilers without needing any refitting. Industries operating coal-fired boilers are increasingly using biomass pellets to power the boilers and reduce the expenditure...
