Raw biomass materials, such as forest slash and construction waste, are irregular in shape, low in energy density, greatly affected by moisture, and can be difficult to transport.
Biomass densification solves these problems by compressing sawdust and chipped wood to create solid biofuel pellets that provide consistent quality, low moisture content, high energy density and homogenous size and shape.
Densification increases the energy density of biomass by approximately 10 to 15 percent, so more heat is produced per unit of pellets burned than if the same amount of raw wood was burned.
