EFB pellet market in Denmark

At this time they do not use EFB pellets. There are two main reasons that explain why they would like use wood pellets than EFB pellets.

• Ash content. Wood pellets has 0.5% while EFB has 5%.
• Pellet color. The Danish think that the light color pellet is cleaner. And the wood pellet color is lighter than EFB pellet color.

For the above reason, EFB pellet price is competitive that is lower than wood pellet price, but the EFB pellet market is not better than wood pellet.
EFB pellet a kind of biomass energy is a better choice compared with the fossil fuels for the source of palm is wide and the price is more reasonable.
