polttoainepelletteja

Polttoainepelletit, or fuel pellets, are a type of solid biofuel produced by compressing organic materials into dense, uniform shapes. These pellets are commonly made from wood waste such as sawdust, wood chips, and bark, but can also be derived from agricultural residues like straw, husks, and other plant matter. The manufacturing process involves drying the raw material, grinding it to a consistent size, and then extruding it under high pressure. This process creates pellets that are typically cylindrical, about 6-8 mm in diameter, and varying in length.

The primary advantage of fuel pellets is their high energy density and consistent quality, which makes them an efficient and convenient fuel source. Their uniform size and low moisture content allow for easy handling, storage, and automated feeding into specialized combustion systems, such as pellet stoves and boilers. This automation contributes to cleaner and more controlled burning compared to traditional biomass fuels. Fuel pellets are considered a renewable energy source as the organic materials used can be replenished through sustainable forestry and agricultural practices. Their combustion produces significantly less carbon dioxide than fossil fuels, and the ash generated can often be used as fertilizer.
