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. Cordwood, wood pellets, wood chips, waste paper, along with dozens of other agricultural products and by-products capable of being used for energy, are all examples of biomass fuel. The most compelling principle of biomass is that it is renewable. The remarkable consistency and burn efficiency of pellet fuel produce a fraction of the particulate emissions of raw biomass. Pellet burners feature the lowest particulate matter emissions of all solid fuels burners. Given the proper Sustainable Forest Initia...

Nowadays the biomass pellet manufacturing industry booms, so unavoidably there are sellers who sell bad quality pellets at best quality prices, which greatly harms customer’s interests. However, for most pellet users, they only keep in mind that the higher price it is, the better quality pellets have. The raw material for biomass pellets making varies from wood sawdust, stalk, peanut shell, cotton stalk, corn stalk and straw, to household garbage. While wood pellets have the highest combustion value, then are stalk pellets, and household garbage pellets are the worst.

Coal has the largest carbon dioxide emissions per unit energy of all fossil fuels, and coal-fired power plants are a major source of man-made carbon dioxide emissions. Coal-fired power plants generally have a life of 20 to 50 years and represent a huge global capital investment. It is not economically feasible t...
