An Evaluation of Different Non-woody and Woody Biomass of Gujarat, India for Preparation of Pellets—A Solid Biofuel

Abstract Agricultural residues and woody by-products are promising alternatives to virgin wood fiber as an industrial feedstock. Residues are abundant, cheap, and their use will yield economic, as well as environmental, dividends. We must, however, answer some pressing questions and take action before the full potential of this fiber source can be realized. The present article attempts to evaluate 74 biomass for proximate analysis, higher heating value, and feasibility for preparation of densified bio-pellet. Large-scale pellets production was performed from selected biomass as a whole or in combination with other residues to achieve maximum combustible standards for any industrial application.
