๐ Cost Comparison for Industrial Applications
For heating 1,000 kg of material to 150ยฐC in industries like Namkeen, Dairy, Pharmaceuticals, and Boilers:
| Industry | Biomass Pellet Cost (โน)โ | LPG Cost (โน)โ | PNG Cost (โน)โ |
| Namkeen Industry | โน133.86 | โน491.52 | โน310.90 |
| Dairy Industry | โน418.14 | โน1,537.92 | โน971.12 |
| Pharmaceutical Industry | โน836.37 | โน3,075.36 | โน1,942.25 |
| Boiler-based Industries | โน2,006.06 | โน7,377.66 | โน4,654.12 |
๐ Biomass Pellets save up to 73% compared to LPG and 57% compared to PNG!

Here is the bar chart comparing cost savings between Biomass Pellets, LPG, and PNG for industrial heating across different industries:
- Biomass Pellets (Green) offer the lowest cost, making them the most cost-effective fuel.
- LPG (Red) is the most expensive, increasing operational expenses significantly.
- PNG (Blue) is cheaper than LPG but still higher than Biomass Pellets.
๐ Key Takeaway:
โ
Switching to Biomass Pellets can save up to 73% compared to LPG and 57% compared to PNG.
