Wood Pellet Machine

[Alycidon]

Hi John,

What system do you use and what output do you achieve. I'm tentatively looking at going into production so any help or info you can give would be grestly appreciated.

Thanks

 

When I looked at pelleting 6 years ago the market had an overcapacity in production of around 30%, this was UK, Europe and Russia wide.

 

Those such as Belcas making money from pellets usually have a CHP plant next door to the pelleting plant so burn the excess production in the CHP plant getting ROCs and payment for the power produced.

Thanks for the info. Is the market still in the same condition or has it changed with the installation of more biomass boilers ?

Can't comment on supply / demand, but the prices for pellet hiked with introduction of domestic RHI!

Market is far worse now then it was 18 months ago. My machine is still mothballed and will remain so until pellet prices increase. Might have a dabble back in the market when I have my 30 kw of PV installed later this year.
