Optimisation of resources flows in pellet manufacture

Every human that lives in northern areas knows that there is a need for heat source. Heat sources are many kinds. The variation between them depends of the state (liquid, solid or gas) they are in and if they are carbon neutral. Environmentally friendly solution is to use wood for heating purposes. Nowadays lots of consumers use wood pellets. The market is increasing tremendously. The goal of this paper is to find existing problems in resources flows in pellet manufacture and offer possible solutions to increase the overall efficiency. Results show that there are three most parts of production flow- waste, water and heat - that can make a significant change towards less impact to the environment. There has been taken in consideration industrial symbiosis implementation but overall studies show that it might not be the most valuable option developing towards most possible efficiency level in pellet manufacturing.
