Wood pellets are clean, carbon dioxide neutral and suitable fuel which is produced mainly by sawdust and waste, pressed under high pressure without gum or other supplements. The wood pellets are of cylindrical shape and normally their diameter is 6-10 mm and their length is 10-30 mm. Due to this fact, the wood pellets are highly standardized and pressed, which allows for reduction of transport costs; they, also, assist the automated operation of heating and power plants, regardless of whether they are in one-family houses or are large power facilities. Due to their rapidly growing share in the market, wood pellets are a considerable resource for the growing utilization of the biomasses in Europe and in other regions. They are, as well, an excellent instrument for local resources utilization, because, in material aspect, they contribute to environmental protection and control of climate changes. European Union has set itself the task of increasing the share of recycled energy sources for heat and electric power generation. Biomass plays a strategic role in the achievement of such tasks, as particularly wood pellets appear to be a key technology with some specific advantages. The wood pellets can be transported more cheaply and more easily, because of their high density, compared to other biomass forms, while, on the other hand, the high degree of standardization provides for exclusively low fuel emissions, even if wood pellets are poorly used. The wood pellets are also a very convenient fuel form for end users – they can be delivered by cistern-trucks or in bags and they are suitable to be used in automatic feeding systems, which makes them convenient for processing and time-saving, same as the systems, operating with gas or liquid fuels.
