Richard,

I am interested in pellet fuel.
"May look into it if anybody is interested in the fuel pellet world.

To make a sale, we have to make rice hull readily available to potential users of rice hull gasifier-stoves (Belonio/Oliver). Not exactly base of the pyramid customers, our target market has no ready access to rice hull (which are needlessly burnt or dumped out in the country.)

The cost and inconvenience of transporting loose rice hull from rice miller, and storing it for easy access by end-user, may be mitigated if we were to promote a pellet model of the gasifier-stove.

The affordable pelletizing machines that I've looked at (from China) apparently are (according to a British manufacturer of portable but pricey fuel pellet) designed for feed pellets, not for fuel pellet, notwithstanding marketing claims by the former.

Your input would be appreciated.
