Biomass dehydration system

A biomass dehydration system, the system comprising:

• a wet biomass chamber for containing wet biomass;
• a belt or chain having a length and defining one or more cavities;
• two or more pulleys including at least a drive pulley, wherein the belt or chain extends along the length around the two or more pulleys, wherein the drive pulley positively engages the belt or chain such that rotation of the drive pulley causes the belt or chain to move around the two or more pulleys in a drive direction along the length, wherein the two or more pulleys are configured such that the one or more cavities are disposable within the wet biomass chamber as the belt or chain moves along the two or more pulleys to cause wet biomass contained within the wet biomass chamber to enter the one or more cavities;
• and
• a drying chamber for dehydrating wet biomass disposed in the one or more cavities such that wet biomass disposed in the one or more cavities converts into solid fuel pellets, wherein at least a portion of the belt or chain extends in the drive direction from the wet biomass chamber through the drying chamber,
• wherein one of the two or more pulleys includes one or more ejection protrusions for engaging the one or more cavities and ejecting solid fuel pellets disposed within the one or more cavities from the one or more cavities.
