For case biomass pellets in bags, are more expensive than bulk deliveries in either large bags or blown loose into a silo. The obvious reason for this is there is no fee associated by way of bagging the pellets. Though there is the initial fee of installing a silo. In the long term however the constant savings on energy costs will benefits the investment on the silo. Wood pellet manufactures are seeing more people opt for the pellet silo’s, and are thus changing their delivery methods more to pellet tankers, instead of pallet deliveries. For manufactures moving onto a more loose pellet delivery approach has benefits and compensation. The benefit is the reduced investment in pellet bagging machines along with the associated costs.

However it is only recently through concerns over global warming in addition to climate change that wood pellet fuel has been looked at as a serious replacement for oil in addition to gas systems. Pellets are simply compressed forms of the original raw material, for example biomass sawdust. Under high pressure in addition to heat in a pellet mill the raw material is produced into a pellet. A pellet resembles a colouring crayon. To create quality wood pellet, a range of aspects of the raw material and equipment need to be restricted. The Wood Pellet Construction Guide provides details on the required adjustments in these areas.
