Why Green Energy Is Needed And Wood Pellets
For an energy source to renewable it must be possible to replace it with its lifetime of use.. Fossil fuel energy is not a form of renewable energy as our consumption far outweighs the replacement of fossil fuels. Several types of renewable energy exist, these include solar, wind, wave, geothermal and biomass. All of these energy forms are necessary in our energy future, however biomass offers several other benefits. As biomass is a tangible resource it fits in well with the market economy and trading. More jobs and income can be generated in biomass than the other renewable energy forms as jobs and income can be generated in the growing, upgrading into a usualbe form of energy and supplying it to the customer.

Pellets are a common type of renewable energy, and a good example of how a biomass energy economy can be established. Jobs and income can be generated on the production of the wood raw material, the processing of the wood into pellets and the distribution of the pellets to the end customer. Pellets have a very high combustion efficiency producing very little smoke and ash. The low ash percentage also helps to keep manual maintenance to a minimum, much lower than burning wood logs for example. Also because of the uniform shape and size of the pellets, pellet stores can on demand place more pellets in the fire.

Pellet presses, pellet mills or pellet machines are used to compress the raw wood material into pellets. To do this the raw material must be reduced to a uniform size through a hammer mill to a smaller diameter to the hole in the pellet press die. The raw material must also be fairly dry before entering the pellet mill. Heat and pressure are needed to gelatinize the wood and then the pellet press forms the melted wood into a pellet. When the pellets come from the pellet press they are very hot and still quite soft, and only become hard once they cool down. Once the pellets have been cooled before they are used they must be kept away from moisture. If pellets are exposed to moisture they will absorb it, once the pellets absorb too much water they can no longer be used for fuel.
