Due to the threat of climate change, the need to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases and with increasing oil prices there is need for increasing the use of biomass in energy production.

Pelleting is a promising technology which converts the energy of biomass into a more useful form through densification in order to ease handling, storage and transport.

This paper presents some aspects on the types of biomass that care used worlwide for the production of pellets and the current status of pellets production in Romania.

Also, there are presented some of the methods used for the measuring of pellets durability and the influence of some factors (such as: particle size, forming temperature, moisture content, bulk density) on the durability of pellets obtained from different types of biomass, since durability is considered a measure of pellet quality.
