Wood pellets or conventional energy, which is better for power generation

As we all know, electricity is very important to society. It has a close relationship with people.Without electricity, people can't warm themselves up, watch movies, use machines, etc. So the world needs power plants. What electricity can generate electricity in this situation? Traditionally, thermal power is the representative of conventional energy generation, but in recent years, with the rapid development of technology and pollution of the environment, the generation of wood pellets has played an important role in power plants around the world.

Conventional power generation - thermal power

Thermal power is a classic example of conventional power generation. When working, the heat generated from coal, oil and natural gas is brought into the generator to convert heat into electricity.Thermal power is the main force of power development at this stage.With the rapid development of technology, the disadvantages of thermal power are becoming more and more prominent.

One of the most important influence is coal, oil and natural gas are driving rapid release more carbon dioxide, lead to the increase of greenhouse gas emissions, in this case, the serious environmental pollution.

The investment is high, the thermal power plant to transport demand is exuberant.

Wood pellets for power generation

With the rapid development of science, simultaneously, China's social environment awareness is increasing, and coal-fired power plants are phasing out coal, oil, natural gas and other electricity generation. Instead, most countries believe that wood pellets are more suitable for generating electricity. Wood pellets are made into several types and grades as fuel for power plants.Here's why.

Low moisture content (less than 10%) of wood pellets, compared with fossil fuels, the combustion efficiency is higher, can save the cost.

Research shows that, due to the wood pellets of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions, such as fuel for power plants is lower than coal, oil and natural gas and other fossil fuels. This protects the environment to a large extent, which is the most prominent advantage compared to thermal power.

Wood pellets raw materials are some agricultural residue or industrial residue, such as sawdust, wood chips, waste wood and so on, these are easy to get, so use is a long-term, from the previous description we know less harmful gas released by the burning of wood pellets, is a kind of clean energy are widely spread all over the world.

As noted above, the wood particles used for generating electricity are efficient, although at a slightly higher cost than thermal power, but are still cheaper than carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, wood pellets has great potential, pellet machine is in great demand at the same time, if you are interested, our company can give you some support, because we are a professional manufacturer of wood pellet machine.
