Biofuels, Solid

The challenge

The major challenges facing solid biofuel producers are related to effectively utilizing the raw materials to ensure renewability and sustainability. Wood and other forms of biomass can be pressed into pellets. These pellets are most often used for heating and for electricity generation (co-firing in a power boiler).

The solution

ANDRITZ offers a range of technologies for pelleting solid biofuels. Due to their low moisture content, regular shape, and high density, these pellets are very efficient to transport and store. Auxiliary systems, including wood processing, bark handling, dryers, and automation, are part of the total offering.
