Resumen	We evaluated the use of hazelnut shell (HS) for pellet production. The investigation of chemical properties, such as the calorific value, low ash, nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine content as well as low heavy metal contents, reveals that the proposed biomass is suitable. However, fuel agglomeration is complicated possibly by some chemical (high content of extractives and lignin) and mechanical properties (spherical shape of particles). Therefore, the blend of HS with pine sawdust is examined in an iterative study, and pellet production is feasible only for percentages of HS lower than 30% in semi-industrial pelleting. The produced pellets exhibit properties compatible to those of industrial and domestic standards, however, as expected the mechanical durability and bulk density needs to be improved. Further studies to identify the optimal operating conditions for the evaluated blend can provide strategies to satisfy the projected increase in pellet demand.
