This process gives rice husk pellets high density, stable combustion, and easier storage and transport compared to loose husk.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px; text-transform: uppercase;\">Why Does Vietnam Have an Abundant Supply of Rice Husk Raw Material?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"max-width: 900px; margin: 28px auto 0; padding: 0 24px;\">\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">Vietnam is currently the world&#8217;s second-largest rice exporter after India, with export volumes maintained at 8\u20139 million tons per year. High rice output also means an abundant supply of rice husk \u2014 an inevitable by-product of milling \u2014 concentrated mainly in the Mekong Delta. <a href=\"https:\/\/vietfood.org.vn\/xuat-khau-gao-nua-dau-nam-2026-giu-nhip-tang-truong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/vietfood.org.vn\/xuat-khau-gao-nua-dau-nam-2026-giu-nhip-tang-truong\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">This gives rice husk pellets produced in Vietnam a stable raw material advantage. In addition, because it is produced from an agricultural by-product rather than harvested wood or fossil fuel, rice husk pellet fuel is considered clean and renewable, placing no additional pressure on forest resources \u2014 aligning with the green energy transition that many FDI factories are pursuing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- infographic image --><\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 900px; margin: 28px auto 0; padding: 0 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; text-transform: uppercase;\"> <strong>Rice Husk Pellets \u2014 Technical Specifications<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"max-width: 900px; margin: 32px auto 0; padding: 0 24px;\">\n<p>&gt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Consolas,Menlo,monospace; font-size: 14px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12); background: #f5f5f5; font-weight: bold; width: 45%;\">Parameter<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12); background: #f5f5f5; font-weight: bold;\">Specification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Composition<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">100% rice husk<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Calorific Value (ARB)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12); color: #c1272d; font-weight: bold;\">3.800 kcal\/kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Ash Content<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">\u0110\u1ed9 \u1ea9m<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">&lt;10%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Diameter<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">12mm \/ 8mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Length<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">10\u201340mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Sulfur (%S)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">0.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Nit\u01a1 (%N)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Clo (%Cl)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Packaging<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 11px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\">Jumbo bag 700\u2013800kg\/bag, ho\u1eb7c \u0111\u1ed5 x\u00e1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 14px; color: #6b6b6b; font-size: 14px;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- export standards --><\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 900px; margin: 32px auto 0; padding: 0 24px;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 20px; margin: 0 0 12px;\">Do Rice Husk Pellets Meet Export Standards?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">Yes.
