We have a local group trying to put together a local company to produce grass pellets off of olod unused farm land.
If it's biomass and I can get it thru my stove I'll burn it.4rth yr burning with a Pinnacle Emerald and 3rd yr 1020 American Royal Biomass boiler.Wife loves the heat.

A year or two ago, the local Agway planned to sell grass pellets, but never did. I was hoping to try some. I have burned corn, wheat, wood pellets and cherry pits in my Bixby and Fahrenheit Endurance.
Finding the 'right' grass (switchgrass, ornamental, others?) will be interesting. Binders, ash content, etc. will be a learning curve. Maybe even try all that invasive phragmites alongside the road?
I wish your group success.

We have a farmer about 1 1/2 hrs away that has been producing grass pellets in his area for local use with no binders i did get a bag from him to use. I have also produced some grass pellets myself but have stuck with my sunflower cleanings and other residue from other grain cleanings and corn stover pellets.I will need to build a larger mill to handle the amount of material i have stock piled.But it for mu own use.
