Abstract  
	Fossil fuels like petroleum and coal won't last forever. Wood pellet fuel is a renewable fuel that does not provide any net contribution to the greenhouse effect. The burning of 5 m3 of oil releases 13.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. One way to prevent future problems is to prepare for life without these natural resources. The increased global warming necessitates exchanging fossil fuels for biofuels. In many countries, biomass is an effective way to meet compliance with the environmentally-friendly Kyoto Accords governing permitted carbon dioxide emissions from consumption of fossil fuels. Biomass is the energy of the future. There are three basic forms of biomass fuels: solid, liquid, biogas. Wood pellets are refined biomass, a solid fuel with low moisture, high energy content. Pellets are mostly manufactured from waste products from sawmills and other wood processing industries. Pellets don’t contribute the greenhouse effect.  The requirements for pellet quality vary according to the characteristics of the wood pellet markets in different European countries. Pellet production is carried out on many scales, from the purpose built large scale wood pellet production facility to small scale pellet machines or converted animal feed or grass mills. Private household use of pellets has a large market share. To these customers a high quality pellet is very important. New players in the market often produce a low price pellets, but it is also low quality product.
