Wood pellet
Wood pellet is a solid fuel that is produced by crushing and densifying waste timber like sawdust, forestry residues, forestry wastes. The length is 1-4cm and the diameter is generally 6, 8, 10, or 12mm. It is possible to produce 25mm wood pellet at maximum. In Sweden, 6mm wood pellet is encouraged to use in house as it can realize the best condition of combustion. Wood pellet production doesn't need to add binder as lignin, an element of wood, plays a role of binder and helps to pelletize when it is melted by heat.
Wood pellets are small, cylindrical, and compressed particles made from wood waste, sawdust, or wood shavings. These pellets are a sustainable and efficient source of biofuel, primarily used for heating homes, businesses, and industrial facilities. They are a popular choice for biomass energy due to their high energy density and low moisture content, making them easy to store and transport. Wood pellets are considered an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels as they reduce carbon emissions and dependence on non-renewable energy sources when used in specially designed pellet stoves, boilers, and furnaces. They are produced from renewable wood resources, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-conscious energy solution.
