🥜 Groundnut Shell Pellets – Eco-Friendly Fuel from Agro Waste

Groundnut shell pellets are a clean, sustainable, and cost-effective biomass fuel made from the agricultural residue of groundnut (peanut) crops. After the extraction of groundnuts from their shells, the leftover husk is processed into high-density pellets using a binder-less compression technique. This results in a renewable fuel source that is gaining popularity as an alternative to coal, wood, and other fossil fuels.

With a high calorific value ranging from 4000 to 4500 kcal/kg, groundnut pellets are capable of delivering strong thermal output for a wide range of industrial and commercial heating applications. These include boilers, kilns, furnaces, hot air generators, and power plants.

Groundnut pellets are known for their low ash content, low moisture levels, and smokeless combustion, making them a clean-burning fuel that significantly reduces air pollution and maintenance costs. They are also uniform in size and density, which allows for efficient storage, transportation, and feeding into automated systems.
