At PelHeat we are strongly against the use of food for fuel, for example grain. Using food for fuel increases its value and thus increases the cost to the consumer. This will increase food costs and increase global famine, so we feel it is a highly unethical process. However when food crops are grown there is a lot of waste biomass left over, and in most cases not utilized, and just burnt in the fields. The video below shows how this waste is been used in China.
With the PelHeat Mobile Pelletizer this waste can be upgraded into pellets, which is a more efficient and convenient fuel than a briquette. Using this waste encourages farmers to grow food crops, as it can then have a dual purpose for food and fuel. So food will be used for food, and the waste for fuel. This will increase food crop supply and increase the availability of a biomass raw material. This will decrease food prices and fuel prices, reducing global famine and developing the use of biomass.
Thank you for your interest
