Wood Pellet Production

Bioenergy comes from converting biomass into useful forms of energy. Most common is burning wood for heat. By using locally sourced and renewable forms of energy it is possible to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and to protect the industry against electricity shortage, as well as decreasing carbon emissions.

The raw material usually consists of waste products from:

• Timber industry
• Sawmills
• Paper industry
• Furniture industry
• Building industry
• Agricultural byproducts

Scopes of application:

• Wood pellets
