A wood pellet is a small, hard piece of bioenergy. Normally pellets have a cylindrical form, 6-8 mm in diameter and of varying length. In the last decade, softwood pellets have emerged as a renewable energy resource that can be considered as a potential future substitute, in many aspects, for fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. The energy value of 1 ton of pellets is about 5.0 MWh, which is equal to 0.5 m3 oil.
