Residue from agricultural operations when properly processed can be transformed into useful commodities that have a real economic potential. The objectives of this study were to fabricate fuel pellets using cotton gin waste and guayule bagasse and determine the physical properties of the fuel as well as measuring emissions from firing the fuel in a commercially available pellet stove.
