Abstract:As global energy demand has increased, bioenergy has emerged as a viable option for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This study focuses on using waste materials from the sugar industry, such as sugarcane straw, bagasse, and filter cake, to compress into pellets to investigate pelletizing behavior and energy usage. Raw material preparation was a critical phase influencing pelletizing efficiency. Biomass pellet quality depended on a uniform particle size distribution and adequate moisture content. A moisture c… Show more
