Densification of biomass through pelletizing offers a promising approach to producing clean biofuels from renewable resources. This study, which investigates the impact additive blends on wheat straw pellet making and upgrading physiochemical properties, has revealed exciting possibilities. Five additives, including sawdust (SD), bentonite clay (BC), corn starch (S), crude glycerol (CG), biochar (BioC), were chosen for this study. Pellets made seven different combinations using laboratory-scale mill. The resulting pellets' physical elemental properties assessed against ISO 17,225-8 standards. Compared control pellets, (T3-T7) exhibited significant improvements in mechanical durability (80% 99%), tensile strength (0.36 MPa 2.09 MPa), bulk density (244 kg/m3 665.21 kg/m3), all meeting AdditionaUF000llylly, these maintained low fines content (<2%) water absorption capacity (<2%, except T1 T5). Furthermore, fixed carbon increased 11.1% 30.90%, energy rose 17.02 MJ/kg 20.36 MJ/kg, showed synergistic effect blending additives. These findings underscore potential as viable source bioenergy production pelletization, offering hopeful outlook future energy. However, further research is necessary optimize mixing ratios even greater quality.
