Processing agricultural and forestry waste into fuel pellets through a biomass pellet machine is indeed an efficient, environmentally friendly and economically valuable way to utilize it! This technology can not only solve the problem of waste treatment, but also create clean energy, especially suitable for agricultural production areas and concentrated areas of wood processing. The following analyzes the advantages, applicable scenarios, key points and development suggestions to provide reference for practical applications:
The core advantages of biomass fuel pellets
1.Turn waste into treasure: cost-effective energy replacement
Low raw material cost: Agricultural and forestry waste (such as straw, rice husk, wood chips, corn cobs, etc.) has a wide source, and the acquisition cost is usually less than 100 yuan/ton. The fuel pellets after processing can be sold at 800-1200 yuan/ton (the higher the calorific value, the higher the price).
The calorific value is stable: the calorific value of wood chip pellets is about 4200-4500 kcal/kg, and the straw pellets are about 3500-3800 kcal/kg, which is close to coal (5000-6000 kcal/kg), but the sulfur content is extremely low (<0.1%), which meets environmental protection requirements.
The substitution effect is significant: 1 ton of biomass pellets can replace 0.8-1 ton of standard coal, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 2 tons (taking wood chip pellets as an example).
2. Environmental benefits: cracking the pain points of incineration pollution
Reduce non-point source pollution: Traditional open-air incineration has led to a surge in pollutants such as PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides. Particulate utilization can eliminate this problem from the source.
Carbon neutrality attributes: The carbon of biomass fuel comes from atmospheric carbon fixed by plant photosynthesis, and forms a "carbon closed loop" after combustion, which does not belong to new carbon emissions (different from fossil energy).
3. Convenient and efficient: adapted to multiple application scenarios
Excellent fuel characteristics: the pellet density is 600-1000 kg/cubic meter, and the volume is only 1/10-1/20 of the raw material, which is convenient for storage and transportation (transportation cost is reduced by more than 50%), and the firepower is stable during combustion and there is less ash (ash content < 5%).
A wide range of applicable equipment: it can be used in biomass boilers (heating, industrial heating), fireplaces, biomass power plants, etc. Some areas (such as rural areas in the north) have promoted "coal to biomass" to replace loose coal heating.
