Renewable resources get more subsides from the UK government

Because the solar energy is easy to affect by the government policy and the solar energy subsidy is going to be canceled soon after, the UK government is going to support the project of producing electricity by biomass material (using pellet mill to make pellet from agro-water) and reform new energy policy. The reform is to promote the market growth of renewable energy. It will bring 25 million job opportunities in the low carbon energy department in UK at the end of 2020." We are going to create clean and safe power facilities, to stimulate economic growth and employment at the same time. Through sharp reform of electricity market, the government ensures that power sector for low carbon development has low social cost as far as possible.

This new policy was criticized due to the complicated process, and the small companies are difficult to compete with the multinational corporation on subsidy. Aim of reform of fuel market in the UK is to reconstruct the power industry, ensuring supply of power at the background that coal fuel power station and nuclear electrical power station is aging and withdrawn from the market within the next few years. While reforming of electricity market have limited effect toward the expenditure on electricity for customers. It is predicted that the average power consumption can save 6% or 41 Pounds in 2030.

Subsidy of 2 billion Pound is going to provide to three types of renewable energy projects: mature technology of generate power from onshore wind and solar power, immature technology of offshore wind power and technology of change fossil fuel power station into biomass power station.

Subsidy to renewable energy is far below than 800 billion pounds of subsidy which the government has promise to nuclear power enterprises. She said, "The government has make clear that nuclear power energy and other high cost renewable energy should be support ed instead of lower cost solar power. The decision affects each user of power in UK at last. Cost for solar power is lower that offshore wind power, and is lower than onshore wind power in the future. It is possible that it is lower than gas generation in 2020. But this can only be realized on the basis of stable government policy and fair market competition. Solar power stations are a special industry which are easy to be affected by the policy. Because the old subsidy system is going to abolish in 2017 and subsidy to the solar power station is going to abolish in 2016. According to the requirement of old subsidy system law of obligations of renewable energy, power station should have a certain proportion of biomass fuel power, at the same time price of biomass fuel power is higher that the market price.

Cost-effectiveness department of generation power form biomass, solar power, inshore wind power and burning garbage technology should be supported by the government completely. At the same time, relevant policy should encourage those developing technologies, like geothermal energy, tidal energy and advanced waste techniques of waste conversion. Along with the development of technology, the cost is reducing. It can provide long time low carbon energy in the future.

Though wood waste and wood sawdust are the main raw materials of making wood pellets, some agriculture residues are also used for making wood pellets in the UK wood pellet market. And since lacking of raw materials of making wood pellets, the UK government now are planning for develop more biomass waste to make wood pellets. KMEC is specialized in providing all kinds of biomass pellet making machines such as wood pellet mill and pellet plant. Raw materials like wood sawdust, wood chips, wheat straws, husks and other agriculture residues can be made into useful wood pellet by using our pellet machine. If you are willing to develop a pellet making business, please feel free to contact us.

Maintenance of ring dies for biomass pellet mill

When the ring die for biomass pellet mill isn’t operate for a period of time, remaining feedstock in the holes should be extrude completely with non-corrosive oil feedstock. Otherwise, heat produced by ring die will dry and stiffen the feedstock which remains in the holes. Thus, the following situations come up.

How to make biomass pellet mill work effectively

Biomass pellet mill take agricultural processing waste like sawdust, straw, rice husk, tree bark and other biomass as materials. These materials will solidify into high density pellet fuel by means of pretreatment and processing, which is an ideal fuel to replace of coal oil.

Differences between ring die pellet mill and flat die pellet

In order to understand the differences between flat die pellet mill and ring die pellet mill, we’d better understand the definition of sawdust pellet mill. Sawdust pellet mill is a kind of equipment being used to compress raw material with certain moisture content into once-molded cylinder or briquettes.
