Solid biofuels. Fuel specifications and classes. Non-woody pellets for non-industrial use | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European standard determines the fuel quality classes and specifications of non-woody pellets for non-industrial use. This European standard covers only non-woody pellets produced from the following raw material (see EN 14961‑1:2010, Table 1):

• — 2 Herbaceous biomass.

  NOTE 1 Herbaceous biomass is from plants that have a non-woody stem and which die back at the end of the growing season. It includes grains or seeds crops from food processing industry and their by-products such as cereal straw:

• — 3 Fruit biomass;
• — 4 Biomass blends and mixtures.

  NOTE 2 Group 4 Blends and mixtures include blends and mixtures from the main origin-based solid biofuel groups woody, herbaceous biomass and fruit biomass.

Blends are intentionally mixed biofuels, whereas mixtures are unintentionally mixed biofuels. The origin of the blend and mixture should be described using EN 14961‑1:2010, Table 1. If solid biofuel blend or mixture contains chemically treated material, it should be stated.
