Pellet fuel has become highly popular because of its high economic value especially with regard to the safety to the environment.  The price of pellet fuel has managed to remain stable even when there are serious price fluctuations in the international price of crude oils and gas.  First, the pellets are friendly to the environment. The burning and combustion of fossil fuels leads to the emission of carbon dioxide in to the atmosphere. The pellets are carbon dioxide neutral. The emission of sulfur dioxide by pellet fuel is also lower as compared to that of fossil fuels.

In general, compared to other wood fuel, pellet fuel has lower particulate matter emission.  Another economic value of pellet fuel is that it supports the local economy. The use of biomass waste or wood as energy source increases economic value, creates new jobs, and supports social structures particularly in the rural regions. Rather than letting landfills and food crops go in to waste after they have been harvested, their use in the production of pellet fuel is a good step in ensuring that resources are effectively utilized.

The standard pellet making machine is designed to produce pellets with minimal or no wastage. To ensure that you realize the full economic value of pellet fuel you should ensure that you acquire pellet mill or pelletizer of high quality. You should not go for the cheapest because it may be costly in the long run.  The machines for production of large quantities are available in small scale and large scale and with varying prices.
