What is Pellet?
Pellet is one of the most natural fuels obtained by dehumidifying and drying waste materials such as waste forest products, crop stalks, wood chips, and sawdust, then grinding and finally compressing them under high pressure. It is an ecological, affordable, and modern solution compared to other fuels. It is the biomass fuel with the lowest carbon emissions, with 99% combustion and 1% ash content.
Advantages of Pellets
- It is a sustainable and renewable energy source.
- Reducing the use of fossil fuels contributes to a zero-carbon target and a reduction in fossil fuel imports.
- It is produced 100% from domestic resources.
- Ensures that waste is transformed into economic value.
- It has maximum energy density as it is dehumidified and compressed. For example, 1 ton of pellets instead of 3.5 tons of wood optimally meet all heating requirements.
- Ozone friendly. It has the cleanest combustion system among solid fuel systems.
- Pellets don't pose a risk of poisoning. There is no dust or smoke problem
in the boiler room, and there is no need to intervene when the power
is cut. - Due to its low ash content, it is highly efficient and reduces operating costs.
- Economical compared to many fuel alternatives.
- Its standardized production, form, and packaging offer logistical advantages.
- As a result, it benefits nature, people, and the national economy.
Pellet Usage Areas
Pellets are used for heating in many areas, such as homes, factories, and workplaces. They are also widely used for industrial purposes, such as electrical energy generation.
