Abstract Ghana's Renewable Energy Master Plan of 2019 includes the production and use
of biomass pellets. However, pellets have neither been developed commercially nor …

Fossil fuels such as coal are likely to be exhausted in near future, research therefore is
focussed on exploration of alternatives. Biomass pellet is one such option and in this work …

This work investigates the effect of biomass milling size on pelletization process and pellet
quality, using garden waste (a non-woody biomass feedstock). Three different milling sizes …

The use of biomass pellets as a source of renewable energy has increased in recent times.
However, pellet storage during transportation can compromise their properties, due to …

The presence and generation of fines and dust in the bulk of biomass pellets have inflicted
several problems in the supply chain during transportation and storage, and the breakage …

With the recent increase in biomass pellet consumption, the mechanical degradation of
pellets during transport and handling has become more important. ISO standard 17831-1 is …

Concerns over the past few decades have focused, more than ever, on finding and
implementing efficient, handy, and renewable sources to reduce pollution. Biomass, in …

Inadequate weather resistance and hydrophilic nature of biomass pellets are two major
concerns for transportation, storage, and conversion. This study investigates how …

The change in physical properties of wood pellets, with a focus on particle size distributions
due to pellet breakage and attrition, was studied in a large-scale (∼ 450 ton/h) …

In order for solid biofuels to be marketable and accessible to stakeholders (eg,
manufacturers, transhippers and customers), they must strictly meet the rigors of …
