The search for non-fossil fuels is a task of global interest. In the case of Mexican forest waste (sawdust, splinters, and woodchips), it is estimated that 45% of this biomass is discarded as garbage rather than used industrially. The production of wood pellets is a viable alternative for the recovery of wooden waste from wood processing, forestry, and other industrial uses (such as the wooden pallets used with forklifts for the transport and storage of manufactured goods). Wood pellets are compressed cylinders between 6 and 10mm in diameter, used for generating thermal energy. The increase in European pellet consumption has promoted the construction of many pelletizing plants in that continent, and this trend has extended to Africa, North America, and South America. In Mexico, however, this industry does not yet exist despite the fact that 72% of the national territory is dedicated to various forestry uses. The State of Chihuahua, located in northern Mexico, has the second largest timber production in the country. This research project encompassed the 10 most significant sawmills in the region of Ciudad Madera, Chihuahua. Their timber resources and their generation rates were analyzed and quantified. The purpose of this project was to determine the technical feasibility of developing a pelletizing industry in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.
