Pellet Fuel and Wood Pellet Production

Pellet fuel, in the form of wood pellet fuel has grown rapidly in popularity over the last few years. Pellets are a compressed form of the original raw material, in the case of pellet fuel this is more than often wood residues from timber processing. Where sawdust from timber processing was seen as a costly waste, it is now see as a valuable asset which is sold to pellet production companies to turn into highly efficient wood pellet fuels.

Wood Pellet Fuel and Biomass Pellet Fuel

Many different materials can be processed into the fuel pellets, collectively referred to as biomass pellets. These include wood waste but also purpose grown woody energy crops such as willow. Other potential energy crops for fuel pellets include miscanthus, reed canary grass, switchgrass and hemp. Farming wastes such as straw, grasses, fruit stones, nut shells and corn cobs can also be processed into fuel pellets. Below is a video of our pellet boiler burning a wide collection of fuel pellets.

Fuel Pellets and Carbon Neutral Emissions

When we burn fossil fuels we place additional carbon into the atmosphere, however biomass energy sources such as wood and energy crops are part of the current carbon cycle. Therefore when we burn fuel pellets this places no additional carbon into the atmosphere, and they are regarded as carbon neutral, potentially even negative.

Global Warming and Alternative Energy

Fuel pellets are a form of alternative energy which can be utilized to challenge global warming. Fuel pellets are as stated are a carbon neutral energy source which is crucial to reduce global warming and climate change.

Reducing Our Dependence on Foreign Oil

Fuel pellets offer us the ability to use local biomass resources and turn them into a highly efficient, low maintenance fuel. Reducing our dependence on oil.

The Green Energy Economy and Pellets

The economy has been heavily disrupted, with the common man bearing most of the effects. Fuel pellet production on both a national and local scale can provide jobs in biomass collection, pellet production and distribution not to mention pellet stove sales and services. A new green energy economy could evolve.

Pellet Mills, Pellet Machines and Presses

Pellet mills and other fuel pellet production equipment are the central pieces of machinery when making pellet fuel. Pellet fuel production by many in the fuel pellet industry is as much of an art as it is a science. Therefore we have developed this guide to provide a solid introduction to pellet fuel production, and the various factors that must be controlled to produce quality fuel pellets.
