1. Biomass pellet market prospects

The global wood pellet market has experienced significant growth in the past decade. From 2012 to 2018, the global wood pellet market grew at an average annual rate of 11.6%, from approximately 19.50 million tons in 2012 to approximately 35.4 million tons in 2018. From 2017 to 2018 alone, the output of wood pellets increased by 13.3%.

2.Wood pellet industry in Canada

The increase of wood pellet production and consumption within Canada is mainly driven by international demand as well as potentially new domestic policies. The federal government has announced plans to phase out the use of coal-fired electricity in Canada by 2030 as part of its overall clean-energy strategy. The goal is to increase Canada’s share of sustainably produced electricity to 90 % from today’s share of 80 % (the majority being derived from hydropower). Coal power accounts for roughly 10 % of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions.

The New Brunswick government has plans to phase out coal as an electricity source under a new climate change plan that also puts a price on carbon. The plan sets 2030 as the target for phasing out coal, but says that it could be delayed by as much as 10 years with interim emission reductions aligned with new federal regulations (Church, 2016).Alberta also announced plans to phase out coal by 2030. The province hosts a number of older units which cannot be converted to co- or mono-firing, but five newer units could be converted by 2030. At present there appears to be a lack of awareness within the Alberta government to consider pellets as a transition option for newer coal power units.

3.Build small sized 300kg/h wood fuel pellet plant business in Canada

RICHI hot selling in turnkey wood pellet line 300kg per hour is a small complete wood pellet line. It is designed with waste wood hammer mill crusher, screw conveyor, 300kg/h ring die wood pellet press machine,wood pellet cooler, dust collector, electric control cabinet, air driven conveying system, vibrating screener, etc. The biggest highlight of this 300kg/h customized wood small pellet line is small size feature, which means that you can quickly install it and put it into use in a short time, ideal for customers who are just starting to invest in a small low cost high return wood pellet production plant in Canada.

(1)Features of RICHI factory price biomass wood pellet production line for Canada market

Capacity: 300kg/h-500kg/h

Power Requirement: 37 kW

Dimension: 4.2 (L) x 1.9(W) x 4m (H)

Workspace Requirement: 4.2 x 2 x 4 meters

Material Requirement: Ensure the length of your biomass materials is below 50mm. Besides, this 300kg/h capacity small biomass pelletizing plant for wood pellet production is not equipped with a dryer originally. So before making pellets with this equipment, ensure the moisture content of your raw material is around 15%. But the wood sawdust dryer machine is essential for you, a ce wood sawdust drying equipment can be added to this wood pellet making plant wood pellet manufacturing process. Packing machine can also be added if you want a more automatic small wood pellet processing plant with 300kg/h. So tell us your needs and we will do our best to make you satisfied.

(2)Cost of small scale 300kg/h wood pellet manufacturing plant for biomass fuel pellets in Canada

Good quality small scale 300kg/h wood pelleting plant investment cost is usually between 30000USD-150000USD.

(3) Profit from investing in wood pellet making plants (calculated based on Chinese market conditions)

When investing in biomass pellet fuel, everyone is concerned about the profit. Let's analyze the profit of biomass pellet fuel. Rough calculations: the profit of one ton of bio-particle fuel = sales price-raw material cost-machine loss-labor cost-electricity cost

Take wood pellets as an example: producing one ton of wood pellets requires a 90kw wood pelletizer machine to work for one hour, and only one worker is required.

The price of 1 ton per hour wood pellets is 900 yuan, the purchase price of wood chips is 500 yuan, the labor cost is 20, the mechanical loss is 30 yuan, and the electricity fee is 90 yuan. Then calculate, the profit of a ton of wood pellets is 900-500-20-30-90=310 yuan.

Working 10 hours a day, the daily profit is 3100 yuan. 30 days a month, monthly profit of 93,000 yuan. One year's profit is millions. The equipment investment only needs more than 100,000 yuan.

After such a calculation, the profit of making biomass pellet fuel is huge and very attractive. Of course, there are still many costs that have not been counted, such as plant space, sales costs and so on. This is an example of wood pellets. If it is replaced with corn stalks, the price is 700 yuan and the profit is relatively small.

The profit of a ton of biomass pellets is between 80-200 yuan, which is a normal profit margin. The equipment investment is at least 200,000 yuan, plus the raw materials, plant transportation and storage, and the input cost can be earned back in about a year.
