Wood Chip Production First, Then Wood Pellets

Many biomass energy entrepreneurs start their business with wood chip production. This is quite reasonable because in addition to the easy production process, cheap investment in equipment and easy market. But over time to increase profits, wood pellet production becomes an option. Technically, wood pellet production requires a series of equipment more than wood chip production, even wood chip production can be one of the stages of the overall wood pellet production process, namely the size reduction stage, especially if the raw material for wood pellets is from logs or pieces of wood. The wood pellet production process is more complex, production equipment is more expensive but also provides better profit expectations. This is certainly a driving force in itself and is considered commensurate between the costs incurred and the profits obtained.

Wood chip and wood pellet products also have the same use, namely for fuel or energy sources. With experience in the wood chip business, it will also provide experience in the dynamics of the renewable energy business, especially biomass energy. Along with the high awareness and demand for renewable energy, especially energy from biomass, a number of fossil energy companies have begun to develop renewable energy as an effort to the energy transition. And a justice energy transition with gradual implementation is the best route, for more details read here. In addition, wood chip production that requires a certain particle size will also produce waste (undersize) that can be used for wood pellet production, for more details read here.
