For one thing, biomass pellet making recycles waste materials into something useful. It will greatly reduce waste. For the other thing, biomass pellet is a great substitute for coal, fuel oil, etc.
3. Promising Market
Pellet fuel has some advantageous features, like high density, high energy content, small size, standardized properties, etc. It is easy to transport, store, and use. So the demand for fuel pellets has also grown quickly. It means there is a promising market for wood pellets. Therefore, it is profitable to invest in a wood pellet mill plant.
| Feedstock | Bulk Density | Energy Content | Ash Content |
| Sawdust | 606 kg/m3 | 20.1 MJ kg-1 | 0.45% |
| Bark | 676 kg/m3 | 20.1 MJ kg-1 | 3.7% |
| Logging leftovers | 552 kg/m3 | 20.8 MJ kg-1 | 2.6% |
| Switchgrass | 445 kg/m3 | 19.2 MJ kg-1 | 4.5% |
