what are the advantages of biomass pellets

Biomass pellets can be used for burning or power generation because of its convenience and comfort. In addition, it has extremely high efficiency and environmental friendly characteristic. It also has the following advantages:

• Clean and easy to use: pellets are relatively cleaner and safer compared to coal. They do not release air polluting gases as sulfur oxide. Also, the transportation and storage of biomass pellets are easy.
• High calorific value and cost-effective: the calorific value of biomass pellets is 17MJ/kg, which is cost-effective regarding its much lower price.
• Environmentally friendly: biomass pellets are carbon neutral, which means they only emit the amount of CO2 they absorbed during growth. They do not release other air polluting gases into the air.
• Renewable: different from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas which is expendable (formed in a very long time), biomass pellets are renewable, because plants grow every year, and we can have endless supply of biomass materials.
• Independent: the price of coal, oil and gas are controlled by the government, especially in these days when fossil fuels are decreasing, no one can assure the stability of their prices. However, the cost of pellets can be controlled by us.
• High efficient: in current time, the pellet burning system is more advanced than before with high efficiency and minimal emission.

Learning about the advantages of biomass pellets can help you better understand the importance of pellet production, which will ultimately help you in setting up pellet plant.
