Biomass is a renewable form of fuel. Renewable simply means the tempo of consumption and supply replacement are alike.
Fossil fuels for example are a form of none renewable energy, as our speed of consumption far out weighs the rate of resource substitution. With an growing global population, and labors to improve the standard of living for lots of developing countries, our fuel requirements will easily double over the next ten to twenty years. Building our energy future on fossil fuels, is a non-sustainable movement and can only sustain our fuel demands in the short term. Biomass and other renewable energy technologies such as wind, solar and wave are desirable to power our future.
Biomass power manufacture from unrefined biomass resources in biomass plants, is a awfully limited way to take benefit of biomass fuel. Through biomass processing it is possible to produce liquid and gas fuels, and also solid fuels such as pellets. Even if the intended end use is for oil or gas production, converting biomass has lots of benefits, mainly for efficient and safe transportation. Transporting loose biomass to processing factories is not very resourceful as it has a very low bulk density, and there is a high risk of dust explosion.
By upgrading biomass into pellets, risks of dust detonation are removed, and over ten times more biomass can be positioned on lorries or boats in one trip. Biomass pellets can also be used in direct burning in pellet stoves and boilers.

At PelHeat we produce small scale mobile biomass pellet manufacture solutions. The biomass pellets to the left were produced with our equipment. Biomass pellet construction is a skilled process and requires the right knowledge.
Consequently we have created this guide to educate people on how the procedure works, and more importantly what doesn’t work. Biomass electricity mainly focuses on large scale electricity production from converted coal power plants. Within recent years there has been an adoption of biomass energy into coal power plants. Biomass and straw in pellet form has been co-combusted with coal to help reduce the carbon emissions of the plant.

The basis pellet fuel is chosen for biomass energy generation in coal power plants is due to energy concentration and transportation benefits. When the pellets reach the power plant they are reduced to dust, though dust transportation is very costly due to a low energy density, also dust explosions are ordinary and very dangerous. In pellet form lorries can carry a a great deal greater amount of fuel, with very little risk.
However fuel production with pellets is not only about large scale electrical generation, it can also be shaped on a small scale. Small scale power generation promotes local jobs and lower fuel prices using local biomass. There are a range of ways to generate biomass electricity on a small scale.
