Abstract
Wood pellets are alternative energy sources which can be produced in consistent quality and are easily transported. They can be converted into other forms of energy by combustion, both industrially and in the private domain. The pellets are made from shavings containing a not inconsiderable proportion of fine fractions and organic binding agents.
