» Biofuels, solid Biomass Pellets  ANDRITZ capabilities for
solid biofuel production  While generating electricity from
fossil fuel is still the most popular method throughout the
world, the costs are rapidly increasing. Biomass is readily
available and can be grown sustainably. The significant
environmental benefit is a potential reduction in CO2 emissions.
The challenge  The major challenges facing solid biofuel
producers are related to effectively utilizing the raw materials
to ensure renewability and sustainability. Wood and other forms
of biomass can be pressed into pellets. These pellets are most
often used for heating and for electricity generation (co-firing
in a power boiler).  The solution  ANDRITZ offers a range of
technologies for pelleting solid biofuels. Due to their low
moisture content, regular shape, and high density, these pellets
are very efficient to transport and store. Auxiliary systems,
including wood processing, bark handling, dryers, and
automation, are part of the total offering.  O
