Abstract:
ISO is currently preparing almost 60 standards for solid biofuels. ISO standards will supersede EN-standards in Europe. Pellet standards under development are: ISO 17225-1 General requirements, ISO 17225–2 Graded pellets and ISO 17225-6 Non-woody graded pellets. ISO 17225-2 includes also quality table for industrial pellets. Values for these standards have been agreed, and they will be published in 2014. ISO 17225-1 consist classification of raw material, which is based on their origin and source. ISO 17225-1 specifies woody biomass, herbaceous biomass, fruit biomass, aquatic biomass and blends and mixtures. Chemically treated material e.g. glued material shall not include halogenated organic compounds or heavy metals at levels higher than those in typical virgin material values. ISO 17225-1 includes also quality tables for thermally treated biomass (e.g. torrefied biomass).
