Market Implementation of Extraordinary Biomass Pellets

Description

Pelletizing mixed biomass residues and waste from agriculture and forestry

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Since nowadays wood is getting more scarce caused by the growing demand in material and the energetic use, alternative solid biofuels, like low quality wood, straw or olive press cake, are experiencing growing interest for energetic use.

Objective

Pelletizing alternative biomass pellets (e.g. made of straw, agricultural or food processing residues)
