The document proposes a solution to utilize woody biomass from forests by producing wood pellets. It describes a mobile pellet press assembly that can convert wood chips into pellets on-site. An economic analysis found that with a daily production rate of 2.53 metric tons, the investment costs of the pellet press assembly and dryer totaling $41,621 could be paid off within one year by selling the pellets for $225 per ton. A prototype dryer was successful in preparing the woody biomass for pellet production within the required timeframe.
