Abstract

Reusing waste for the production of an energy product is a complex industrial activity. Therefore, this article explores the production of pine wood pellets with the application of the Axiomatic Design (AD) and Inventive Problem Solving Theory (TRIZ) techniques, to develop solutions to increase the productive and environmental performance of a pellet industry of Brazil. The results indicate an increase in environmental energy efficiency, in the quality of pellets and possible trade-off situations, creating opportunities for future improvements. This aspect demonstrates that the solutions lead to the evolution of the technical system with potential for innovation.
