So we are 16.5 / 3.6 = 4.6 kWh / kg
It is the legal minimum (European standard - ex: Din +)

Commercially, many manufacturers "guarantee" humidity levels below (7%), which allows them to "guarantee" a higher PCI. I have often seen (and used) softwoods at 5,0 kWh / kg.

I would like to know the humidity of a pellet that arrives in the brazier!
b) Yes for the recovery of humidity, that's why the pellets are sold in a tightly sealed plastic bag and you have to be careful with storage (especially valid for bulk storage ... eh Did67!)

I had 8% in mind ok ... but 2% humidity difference is very little. I mean that following storage it is easy to make a difference of 2% humidity in a few hours ...

I would be curious to see how much humidity is 8% pellets that have been exposed to 50-60% RH (the "average" humidity of any dwelling)
Frankly I do not believe too much in your theory of "plasticization" ????
ps: what is the microwave technique? I missed that at the time ...
