The Sengon tree (Albizia Chinensis) presents a promising avenue for biomass utilization due to its inherent natural adhesives, namely lignin and hemicellulose, streamlining the pelletization process without additional adhesive materials.This paper provides comprehensive analysis of wood pellets' characteristics.To ensure high-quality pellets, minimizing inorganic elements such as alkali metals (K, Na), reducing Cl, S, Si content is essential mitigate impurities, scale formation, combustion boiler corrosion.Initial findings indicate that pellets exhibit carbon increase from 13.41% 15.02% when dry, slight sulfur 0.08% 0.09%, calorific value 4302 Kcal/kg.With pellet density 796 kg/m³ burning rate 321.15 g/second, SEM-EDX testing confirms their suitability fuel.These results underscore potential viable sustainable resource thermal energy production, with implications improving quality efficiency.
