Today, we introduce a unique approach to generating low-carbon renewable fuels and emission-free electricity. Our advanced Pongamia trees (5781-A variety), cultivated on smart carbon plantations, are the key. This exceptional strain produces top-tier inedible oil for liquid biofuel production and is a significant source of solid biomass, essential for industries powering electricity and heat. Our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship is evident in our practices. We refrain from tree cutting, yet we manage extensive and valuable agricultural waste from the fruit shells.
Our ongoing research and development focus on utilizing Pongamia shells to craft solid biomass in pellet form, contributing to renewable fuel solutions with a minimal carbon footprint. Wood pellets stand out as a renewable energy source, emitting no net carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned, thanks to the equilibrium between emitted CO2 and that absorbed during tree growth. This substitution of wood pellets for fossil fuels, coal, or oil aids in curbing CO2 emissions, a vital step in combating climate change.
Our approach to pellet production is about more than just creating a renewable energy source. It's about reducing reliance on natural forest logging, preserving the ecological balance, and minimizing environmental harm. With their clean combustion and high thermal efficiency, these pellets ensure consistent heat output while optimizing energy utilization, making them a sustainable choice.
Key points about pellets:
Wood selection is critical, necessitating specific properties like low moisture content.
Quality pellets typically exhibit an ash content below 1%, indicating superior quality.
Monitoring metal content is crucial, as excessive levels can harm the environment.
The answer to whether the SCP model and elite Pongamia 5781-A variety can supply adequate, consistently high-quality waste biomass for pellet production is a resounding yes! KESSLER shells, constituting 50% of the fruit from our 5781-A variety, yield substantial inedible oil and abundant pellets for our partners and clients.
Highlighted qualities of KESSLER's Pongamia 5781-A shells for pellet production:
Moisture content below 10% is pivotal for pellet suitability.
Exceptionally low ash content of 0.6%, ensuring premium quality.
Negligible levels of heavy metals, as evidenced by our detailed analysis.
Comprehensive analyses and official state approvals are available for examination.
Beyond pellet production, our shells serve as valuable resources for cellulosic alcohol and renewable biodiesel production via FT BtL technology.
Quality Pongamia 5781-A shells for pellet production
We want to boast of the highest quality of the raw material and show the results of our research - results that are representative of the 5781-A variety
Moisture content - one of the most important parameters determining the suitability of the raw material for pellet production. Our research program on Pongamia shells has determined the moisture content to be less than 10%
Ash content - another critical parameter that can significantly limit the quality and use of the raw material for pellet production. Our detailed tests at the ARO Institute showed that the ash content in shells in the 5781-A variety is 0.6% (!)
Content of heavy metals—Below is a summary of selected heavy metals' results in KESSLER Pongamia shells 5781-A variety.
Copper (Cu) - 2.4 ppm
Cobalt (Co) - below 1 ppm
Cadmium (Cd) - below 0.008 ppm
Lead (Pb) - below 0.03 ppm
Mercury (Hg) - below 0.05 ppm
Nickel (Ni) - below 1 ppm
Arsenic (As) - below 0.05 ppm
Now, any company and authority can use and deliver emission-free electricity and use an advanced mechanism to eliminate all their energy-consuming pollution, achieving a zero-emission economy. Energy providers can offer free emission electricity and the possibility of offsets for all their energy activities.
