  2. Pellet heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_heating

    Pellet heating is a heating system in which wood pellets (small pellets from wood chips and sawdust) are combusted. Other pelletized fuels such as straw pellets are used occasionally. Today's central heating system which run on wood pellets as a renewable energy source are comparable in operation and maintenance of oil and gas heating systems.

  3. Pellet fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_fuel

    The energy content of wood pellets is approximately 4.7 – 5.2 MWh/tonne [43] [44] (~7450 BTU/lb), 14.4-20.3 MJ/kg. [45] [None of these three sets of values come even close to agreeing.] High-efficiency wood pellet stoves and boilers have been developed in recent years, typically offering combustion efficiencies of over 85%. [46]

  4. Wood fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_fuel

    Wood burning. Wood fuel (or fuelwood) is a fuel such as firewood, charcoal, chips, sheets, pellets, and sawdust.The particular form used depends upon factors such as source, quantity, quality and application.

  5. Torrefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrefaction

    Torrefaction is a thermochemical treatment of biomass at 200 to 320 °C (392 to 608 °F). It is carried out under atmospheric pressure and in the absence of oxygen.During the torrefaction process, the water contained in the biomass as well as superfluous volatiles are released, and the biopolymers (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) partly decompose, giving off various types of volatiles. [4]

  6. Biomass (energy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_(energy)

    The by-products from the wood processing industry are called wood processing residues and consist of cut offs, shavings, sawdust, bark, and black liquor. [27] Wood processing residues have a total energy content of 5.5 EJ annually. [28] Wood pellets are mainly made from wood processing residues, [m] and have a total energy content of 0.7 EJ.

  7. Biomass heating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_heating_system

    Wood chips in a storage hopper, in the middle an agitator to transport the material with a screw conveyor to the boiler. Biomass heating systems generate heat from biomass. The systems may use direct combustion, gasification, combined heat and power (CHP), anaerobic digestion or aerobic digestion to produce heat. Biomass heating may be fully ...

  8. Solid fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_fuel

    Today, burning of wood is the largest use of energy derived from a solid fuel biomass. Wood fuel can be used for cooking and heating, and occasionally for fueling steam engines and steam turbines that generate electricity. Wood may be used indoors in a furnace, stove, or fireplace, or outdoors in a furnace, campfire, or bonfire.

  9. Wood gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_gas

    The heat of combustion of "producer gas" – a term used in the United States, meaning wood gas produced for use in a combustion engine – is rather low compared to other fuels. Taylor (1985) [7] reports that producer gas has a lower heat of combustion of 5.7 MJ/kg versus 55.9 MJ/kg for natural gas and 44.1 MJ/kg for gasoline. The heat of ...
