Why are more and more people using biomass pellets? The TONY pellet machine manufacturer will tell you the reason.
1.Environmentally friendly
Low carbon emissions: The raw materials of biomass pellets are mostly agricultural and forestry waste such as crop straw and wood chips. Plants absorb carbon dioxide during growth, and the carbon dioxide released during combustion is basically offset, achieving zero or low carbon emissions, which helps to cope with climate change.
Low pollutant emissions: Compared with traditional fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum, pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter produced during the combustion of biomass pellets are relatively low, which can effectively reduce air pollution and improve air quality.
2. Renewability
Its raw materials are widely sourced and renewable, such as various agricultural and forestry waste, livestock and poultry manure, which can continuously provide raw materials for biomass pellet production, realize the recycling of resources, and reduce dependence on limited fossil energy.
3. Highly efficient combustion
The biomass pellets have been processed and have uniform density and shape, stable combustion, good fluidity, not easy to blockage, and have high combustion efficiency. The calorific value is generally between 16 and 20MJ/kg, which is higher than traditional fuels such as coal and natural gas. It can generate more heat energy under the same quality, improving energy utilization efficiency.
4. Good economy
The cost is low, the raw materials are widely sourced, and the prices are relatively stable, which can reduce energy costs. In some areas, the purchase price of raw materials in mountainous areas is low, and the cost of labor and land is lower than that of plains and cities. The overall cost advantage is obvious. For example, in Zigui County, Hubei, the processing of citrus branches into granules has better economic benefits.
5. Safety and convenience
The combustion process of biomass pellets is stable and easy to control, and is safer and more reliable than traditional fuels such as straw. Moreover, it is small in size and dense, which is easy to store and transport, reducing safety hazards and transportation costs.
6. Promote agricultural development
The raw materials of biomass pellets are mainly derived from agricultural waste, and their utilization can promote the resource utilization of agricultural waste and promote the sustainable development of agriculture. At the same time, combustion residues can be used as organic fertilizers to improve soil quality and improve crop yields.
