Summary: _What is biomass fuel_? Biomass fuel is a solid block or granular fuel that uses agricultural and forestry waste, such as peanut skins, rice husks, straw, sawdust, etc., to undergo mechanical thermoforming at high temperature and high pressure. How much does biomass fuel cost per pound? Below, let's find out together. What is biomass fuel?
Actually, biomass fuel is a misnomer. Its scientific name is biomass pellet fuel. The raw materials are agricultural and forestry wastes, such as peanut skins, rice husks, straw, sawdust, etc. A solid block or granular fuel subjected to mechanical thermoforming at high temperature and high pressure. It is mainly used to replace highly polluting coal for clean combustion.
How much does a pound of fuel cost?with biomass pellets?
1. Biomass Pellet Fuel
Currently, most of the raw materials on the market are processed from peanut shells, rice husks and sawdust. The obtained pellet fuel with a diameter of 8-9mm, such as peanut shell pellet fuel, rice husk pellet fuel and wood pellet fuel, is then divided into various pellet fuels. drink. fuel, pine pellet fuel, mahogany pellet fuel and camphor pellet fuel, etc.
The price of biomass pellet fuel mainly depends on the raw materials. For example, peanut shell pellet fuel is currently sold in bulk at around $600/ton, or around 0.3 yuan/jin in kilograms of rice husk. pellets The current wholesale price of fuel on the truck is about 500/ton, which is about 0.25 yuan/jin in kilogramrow. The current wholesale price of various wood pellet fuels is about 750/ton in bulk, or about 0.375 yuan/jin. in kilograms. Pine wood The current wholesale price of pellet fuel on the truck is about 800/ton, which is about 0.4 yuan/jin in kilogram. The current wholesale price of bulk mahogany pellet fuel is about 830/ton, or about 0.4 yuan/jin in kilogram. 0.415 yuan/jin in kilograms. The current price of bulk Zisong pellet fuel is about 1,170/ton, or about 0.585/catties in kilogram.
2. Biomass briquetting fuel
At present, the main market is peanut shell briquetting fuel. Of course, there are also straw briquetting fuel, sawdust briquetting fuel and furfural slag briquetting fuel. .block fuel.
The fuel for briquetting peanut shells is currently availablet sold in bulk at around 490 yuan/ton, or around 0.245 yuan/catties in kilograms. Straw briquetting fuel is currently sold in bulk at around 450 yuan/ton, calculated by. kilogram, it is about 0.225 yuan/kg. There are relatively few manufacturers of wood chip briquette fuel, and they are mainly processed into furfural slag briquette fuel which are currently sold in bulk at about 330 yuan/ton, per kilogram. you calculate it, it's about 0.165 yuan/jin.
So why are biomass briquettes getting so much attention? It is mainly because of their high quality and low price, moderate calorific value, environmental protection and smokeless. electricity and natural gas Saves 40 to 60% of energy costs.
