1. A method for producing a pelletized fuel product, the method consisting essentially of:
applying water to at least partially carbonized biomass such that the at least partially carbonized biomass has a moisture content from about 2 percent to about 40 percent by weight of the at least partially carbonized biomass; and thereafter pelletizing the at least partially carbonized biomass in an inert atmosphere, wherein at least a portion of the inert atmosphere comprises steam and at least a portion of the steam is produced during pelletization of the at least partially carbonized biomass. |
