Sunflower husks are burned as fuel to power oil mills, but only half of the hulls can be used on-site for energy production. The remaining half have to be transported off-site to provide energy or for other purposes, such as composting, bedding material, or as a low-quality roughage for livestock. However, they are light in weight and bulk because of their low density, and are therefore costly and impractical to transport. For sunflower seed oil manufacturer or sunflower seed processors, how to deal with useless husk has become an annoying problem.

The majority of consumption went to heat production, which represented 61.8%. Pellet consumption for heat can further be divided into three markets – residential heating (69%), commercial heating (19%) and heat generated from cogeneration (12%). The remaining 38.2% of wood pellets were used for power generation. It should be noted that the technologies for producing energy from pellets for heat, electricity or both are mature and offer efficient and reliable processes. Three pellets

Most of the consumption was for heat production, accounting for 61.8%. Pellet consumption for heating can be further divided into three markets – residential heating (69%), commercial heating (19%) and heat generated by CHP (12%). The remaining 38.2% of wood pellets were used to generate electricity. It should be noted that technologies for producing energy from pellets for heating, electricity, or both are mature, offering efficient and reliable processes.
