Moreover, by producing biomass pellets with granulator, crop production becomes more profitable without increasing the price of food.

Biomass Energy Crops

As the demand of food in rising globally, land should first and foremost be used for food or agriculture industry. However, there are fields where food crops cannot grow. Due to this fact, energy crops which can be used for making energy can be planted to make the most of lands. The most common energy crops includes: hemp, SRC willow, switchgrass, reed canary grass, miscanthus etc. Hemp, for example, is one of the most promising energy crops for fuel pellet production. Hemp can be planted on fields unsuitable for food crops. Hemp is also an ideal material for granulator machines. The quality of hemp pellets is similar to standard grade wood pellets.
