Miscanthus Pellets & Pellet Mills

To kick-start biomass crops, researchers are looking at bridge markets.

• Heating your home with miscanthus pellets, and not natural gas, has potential.
• There are still some cost unknowns when it comes to using biomass for heating.

Miscanthus can exceed heights of 3.5 meters in a single growing season. Its rapid growth, low mineral content and high biomass yield make miscanthus a viable source of biofuel. Additionally, the plant exhibits greater photosynthetic efficiency and lower water use requirements than other plants. Miscanthus has low nutritional requirements and is highly efficient in the processing of nitrogen. These properties allow the plant to grow on barren land without the need for heavy fertilization. Miscanthus has the potential to yield 15-25 metric tons per hectare, dry weight, on an annual basis. Upon harvest it can be converted into bio-fuel pellets by using a pellet mill or pellet making machine.

Miscanthus Farmers Operating Their Own Pellet Mill

In recent years, biomass energy is highly supported in many countries. For example, in America, many farmers are convinced to grow miscanthus due to its energy potential. There is no miscanthus seed since they reproduce by splitting from existing miscantuse plants. To grow miscanthus, a suitable field can be significant which means a large field could be the most costly part in your budget. In other words, field is pretty much dedicated to growing miscanthus. However, the truth is that the compared to the prices offered by the power companies, their cost for grow the plant is quite a little. Therefore, famers start to look for profitable markets for their miscanthus and pellets turn out to be a good option.
