Biomass pellets are not only used to provide heat for homes and other buildings, but other applications, for example grain drying.
With global warming winters are becoming warmer, but also wetter. With regards to grain this brings a problem. A grain dryer is required, and with the onset of wetter winters more and more grain will have be dried. Currently grain dryer are all gas and oil burners, now besides the environmental concerns of using these fuels in a grain dryer, there is also a cost issue.
Using fossil fuels in a grain dryer, due to their high price directly affects the price of grain to the consumer. Therefore as the price of fossil fuels increase the price of grain will also increase, and as more grain will have to be dried in the future the problem will only get worse.
Kozlusan have developed a mobile grain dryer, which can use biomass pellets as their fuel. With grain there is obviously a lot of waste resource, the straw. If this straw were converted into pellets this would fuel the dryer. Using this waste resource is not only better for the environment but it will help to keep the cost of running the grain dryer down, which will also help to reduce the global problem of food poverty. Then of course the farmer could use the excess straw pellets to heat his house, other buildings and sell the remainder.
