Main uses of wood pellets
As a new type of energy, wood pellet fuel is slowly affecting people's lives. It is now mainly used in three aspects: 1. Small kilns are used to heat the home and supply life energy. This kind of application is mainly based on biomass pellet fuel, which is used more in Northern Europe. Because there is no related product development in China, its application is almost blank. 2. The unprocessed ...
