Indonesian Wood Pellets

Biomass Potential in Indonesia for Wood Pellets Making
Studies show that biomass resources in Indonesia are rice residues, rubber wood residues, sugar mill residues, palm oil residues, plywood and veneer residues, logging residues, sawn timber residues, coconut residues and other agricultural wastes, municipal solid wastes, etc. Nowadays, the developed pelletizing technology can convert each of these biomass materials into biopellets for heating and power generation. Let’s take palm oil tree wood as an example.
Market Potential for Indonesian Wood Pellets
Wood pellets are becoming more and more popular, because of their higher energy density than wood chips, round shape which can make handle and storage easily, and their long durable of burning time, and environment friendly. Therefore the wood pellet market is increasing rapidly and in demand worldly. Wood pellets can be used in electric power generation, house heating, industrial plant etc, and the market is expanding.
Indonesian domestic biomass consumption for heat and power
biomass consumption are growing. Biomass materials are mainly used in three fields, household, industrial power, and commercial. Among these, household take a great share. Firewood, forest and agricultural waste are the most common used biomass type by Indonesia households.
