Biomass feed and fuel pellets

摘要

Pellet compositions derived from agricultural combustible biomass and oil-retaining seed mash are described. A lubricant such as glycerol or glycerin may also be included to increase pelletability and increase the BTU/lb of the pellets. The components used for making the pellets are byproducts of biofuel production and typically have little economic value. Pellet composition advantageously include the use on material derived from Camelina plants as the combustible biomass and seed mash. Methods of making the pellets are also disclosed.
