PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for pelletizing a heavy hydrocarbon (asphaltenic hydrocarbon) to transport the heavy hydrocarbon in a solid state. SOLUTION: The method for pelletizing the heavy hydrocarbon includes the steps of: extruding asphaltenic hydrocarbons from a droplet producing device 102 so as to create droplets; piling the asphaltenic hydrocarbon droplets on a conveyer 124 adjacent to the droplet producing device; solidifying at least a part of the asphaltenic hydrocarbon droplets by quenching the asphaltenic hydrocarbon droplets from the conveyer by a cooling medium 132 in a cooling channel 130 thereby transferring heat to the cooling medium from the asphaltenic hydrocarbon droplets in order to create asphaltenic pellets; and separating the asphaltenic pellets from the cooling medium.
