Abstract:

Bamboo is a type of biomass materials and has great potential as a bio-energy resource of the future in China. Based on some characteristics of bamboo resource, its structure and pyrolysis, bamboo, as a potential resource of biomass pellets in china, was described in the paper. According to microstructure and chemical composition comparison between bamboo and wood, the feasibility of bamboo pellets was analyzed. Bamboo pellets were manufactured using a laboratory pellet mill, and all properties of bamboo pellets could meet the requirement of Pellets Fuel Institute Standard Specification for Residential/Commercial Densified. Bamboo pellets would be the proposed new biomass solid fuel and had the potential to be development as commercial pellets.

Key words: biomass pellets, bamboo, bamboo pellets, process and performance
