A small huddle of wood pellets

A handful of wood pellets.
Wood pellets are a type of wood fuel, generally made from compacted sawdust. They are usually produced as a byproduct of sawmilling and other wood transformation activities. The pellets are extremely dense and can be produced with a low humidity content (below 10%) that allows them to be burned with a very high combustion efficiency. Further, their regular geometry and small size allow automatic feeding with very fine calibration. They can be fed to a burner by auger feeding or by pneumatic conveying.
Their high density also permits compact storage and rational transport over long distance. They can be conveniently blown from a tanker to a storage bunker or silo on a customer's premises. As the price of heating with fossil fuels increases, more capacity for pellet heating has been installed. A large number of models of pellet stoves, central heating furnaces and other heating appliances have been developed and marketed since about 1999. With the surge in the price of fossil fuels in 2005, the demand has increased all over Europe and a sizable industry is emerging. The reason being is that customers on oil or LPG could be saving from 35-50% on their heating bill in the United Kingdom.

Production
Pellets are produced by compressing the wood material which has first passed through a hammer mill to provide a uniform dough-like mass. This mass is fed to a press where it is squeezed through a die having holes of the size required (normally 6mm diameter, sometimes 8mm or larger). The high pressure of the press causes the temperature of the wood to increase greatly, and the lignin plastifies slightly forming a natural 'glue' that holds the pellet together as it cools.
Pellets conforming to the norms commonly used (DIN 51731 or ?-Norm M-7135) have less than 10% water content, are uniform in density (density in excess of 1 ton / cubic meter, so they do not float if placed in water), have good structural strength, and low dust and ash content. Because the wood fibres are broken down by the hammer mill, there is virtually no difference in the finished pellets between different wood types. Pellets can be made from nearly any wood variety, provided the pellet press is equipped with good instrumentation, the differences in feed material can be compensated for in the press regulation.
Pellets conforming to the above norms cannot contain any recycled wood or outside contaminants. Recycled materials such particle board, treated or painted wood, melamine resin-coated panels and the like are particularly unsuitable for use in pellets, since they may produce noxious emissions and / or uncontrolled variations in the burning characteristics of the pellets.
New pellet mills are being opened in the United Kingdom every month, lowering the price of a tonne of pellets to as low as ?140 per tonne. The scarcity and unreliable supply that used to come with the dependence on wood pellets has vanished.
Energy output

Wood-pellet heater
With the high efficiency burners developed in recent years, other emissions such as NOx and volatile organic compounds are very low, making this one of the most non-polluting heating options available.[citation needed] One remaining problem is emission of fine dust in urban areas due to a high concentration of pellet heating systems. Electrostatic particle filters for pellet heaters have however been developed and considerably reduce the problem when installed as standard.
The energy content of wood pellets is approximately 4.7-4.9 MWh/tonne (~7450 BTU/lb).
The climate impact of wood pellets is disputed. Some[who?] argue that there is a very low net carbon footprint because trees are a renewable resource, and, in the process of growing, consume the carbon dioxide released by their combustion. Others[who?] counter that the source sawdust would not otherwise have contributed to greenhouse gases[dubious discuss], and that burning fuel pellets releases a large amount of CO2 into the air. The fact is, wood is made up of mostly carbon (and water), that carbon came from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis, and its carbon gets returned to the atmosphere when the wood is either burned or left to decompose. While it is true that in burning, most of the carbon joins with oxygen and returns to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, left to decompose, the carbon still returns to the air in the form of methane, which...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about oil on board, honeywell control boards, .
