How To Get The Raw Materials For Biomass Pellet Plant ?

Procurement difficulties are common problems existed in biomass pellet plant. There are many problems in the biomass formation fuel chain-like collecting, storage and transportation under the current situations, but the most obvious problem is to collect raw material like straw and other material.

During the development of biomass pellet plant, it becomes more and more difficult to collect the raw materials. The related experts point out that the most important resources for pellet plant comes from farmers, or the farmer deliver the raw materials to the pellet plant and the pellet plant pay the farmers on site. As for the issues of price, there are big differences between different regions. The cost mainly comes from transportation, which is closely related with different regions, different growing areas of straw and different moisture content. Therefore, many formation fuel producers pass through many years’ exploration and practice, they adopt the method of “producers+ network of sites +farmers” which are suitable for the current situation in rural areas of our country. The producers realized the large scale production and the network spread all over the rural areas, which can resolve the problems of straw collective, storage and transportation; combined with the farmers, the producers resolve the problems of raw materials supply and terminal application through the marketing means. As long as the stakeholders on the industrial chain realized the division of labor and cooperation, the two sides will benefit from it, to achieve the sustainable development of the industry.

Experts from energy-saving stove Professional Committee of Chinese Rural Energy Industry Association believe that the biomass energy industry is not fit for large scale production. “In China, the agriculture and forestry biomass material is dispersed and various in raw materials, short in harvest period, and the difficult for collecting, transportation and storage are big. It is difficult to find the large filed and the requirement for rain, fire and enzymatic prevention is higher, as well as the issues of electricity and transportation radius etc. In addition, the large scale production should consider the matched bander, crusher, drying machine, as well as the labor etc, big investment, less benefits, long return cycle and not worthwhile of the investment.

Though there are many methods for the biomass pellet machine to marketing, the set pattern is basically the same. They must be tested by the market to prove practical. Our countries’ biomass pellet fuel is developed with low speeds; the main reason is the technology and cost that lead to profitability difficult. The expert of the industry believe that if the government support increase the subsidy the during the12th five year plan, it can promote the industry to achieve industrialization and large scale production as soon as possible, to improve the technology and reduce the cost, then the industry can be on the right way of good recycle.
