“…Gil, Arauzo, Teruel, and Bartolome (2012) highlighted the milling process importance for particle homogenization. A study carried out by Carone, Pantaleo, and Pellerano (2011) showed that the size of biomass particles is among the most important factors influencing the pellets density and hardness. Stelte et al (2011) observed that the pelletizing pressure increases with a decreasing particle size of raw material, resulting in higher pellet density.…”

ABSTRACT. This paper presents a study carried out in a Brazilian pellet industry in order to determine the main properties of sugarcane bagasse pellets. Materials ), ash content (8.70%), fixed carbon (14.03%), volatile matter (77.27%), nitrogen (0.28%), sulphur (0.02%) and chlorine (< 0.02 %). The results are compared with those obtained from the literature and discussed according to international standards for biomass pellets, wood pellets and solid biofuel. The comparative analysis showed that there are differences between the results found in our study in comparison with other studies and international standards. The paper also presents the production process energy consumption and cost analysis. ), o teor de cinzas (8,70%), o carbono fixo (14,03%), as matérias voláteis (77,27%), o nitrogênio (0,28%), o enxofre (0,02%) e o cloro (< 0,02 %). Os resultados são comparados com outros obtidos a partir da literatura e discutidos de acordo com normas internacionais para pellets da biomassa, pellets de madeira e biocombustível sólido. A análise comparativa mostrou que existem diferenças entre os resultados encontrados em nosso estudo em comparação com outros estudos e normas internacionais. O artigo também apresenta uma análise de consumo e custos com energia no processo produtivo.Palavras-chave: pellets, bagaço de cana-de-açúcar, biomassa, bioenergia.

“…Pellets have characteristics superior to other biomass products, such as woodchips and briquettes, especially in regards to mass and energy densities (ARRANZ et al, 2015). Such higher density results in lower transportation costs and greater efficiency in regards to energy conversion (CARONE et al, 2011), having suitable properties for use in residential and industrial scale.…”

“…Changes in operating conditions can affect directly the mechanisms of densification and, consequently the chateristics of the final pellet, changes in the particle shape impact upon the density, hardness, and durability of the pellets [42] [43]. Hence, globally, studies have been conducted to identify the effect of changes in the fabrication parameters of pellets on their mechanisms of densification and properties.…”

The growing consumption of energy and the goals established in the COP21 to diminish greenhouse gases have been bases for the development of energy industries that use renewable sources. Biomass pellets have become interesting alternatives due to their physicochemical characteristics and advantages over traditional wood. This document sought to conduct a review of the behavior of the international market, emphasizing on the principal producer and consumer countries, prices of biofuel commercialization, as well as the different research trends related to this market. The European Union has become the principal market for biomass pellets with 94% growth in the last decade, sale prices around 200 and 250 €/t and an increasing need to import these biofuels. Research has focused mainly on four big areas, like pellet quality, new materials, market analysis, and combustion characteristics of the pellets. Understanding these research trends and knowing the existing market can permit the development of the currently inexistent Colombian industry for the use of this type of biofuel Keywords: Pellets, Biomass, Market, Solid Fuels, Renewable Energy. ResumenEl creciente consumo de energía y las metas establecidas en el COP21 para la disminución de gases de efecto invernadero han sido bases para el desarrollo de industrias energéticas que emplean fuentes renovables. Los pellets de biomasa se han convertido en alternativas interesantes debido a sus características fisicoquímicas y ventajas sobre la madera tradicional. El presente documento busca realizar una revisión al comportamiento del mercado internacional haciendo énfasis en los principales países productores y consumidores, los precios de comercialización del biocombustible, así como las diferentes tendencias en investigación relacionadas con este mercado. La Unión Europea se ha consolidado como el principal mercado para pellets de biomasa con un crecimiento del 94% en la última década, precios de venta alrededor de 200-250 €/t y una cada vez mayor necesidad de importar estos biocombustibles. Las investigaciones se han enfocado principalmente en cuatro grandes áreas como calidad de pellets, nuevos materiales, análisis de mercados y características de la combustión de pellets. Entender estas tendencias de investigación y conocer el mercado existente pueden permitir el desarrollo de la industria colombiana actualmente inexistente para el aprovechamiento de este tipo de biocombustible.
