Renewable Pellet Energy Production Commences in Jhapa

Jhapa. By utilizing local resources that were previously going to waste, the production of renewable energy 'pellets' has begun in Mechinagar Municipality-15, Jamirgadi.

'Pellet energy' is considered a low-impact fuel source, serving as an alternative to coal, firewood, and other fossil fuels.

Parajuli Biomass Briquette Industry has initiated the production of 'pellet energy'. Stating that the industry has the capacity to produce up to 70,000 kilograms of 'pellet energy' in 12 hours, industry operator Aditya Parajuli said that the pellets produced here will be exported not only within Jhapa but also to various districts of Nepal and the neighboring country, India.

As the use of 'pellet energy' is increasing as a cheap and eco-friendly fuel for industries such as tea, cement, brick, and iron, operator Parajuli informed that the industry processes waste materials like veneer sheets, sugarcane husks, dry leaves, bamboo scraps, and wood chips into granular energy using state-of-the-art machinery.

Bhadrapur Municipality Mayor Ganesh Pokharel states that pellets will contribute to making the country self-reliant in fuel by replacing coal imports.
