Abstract
A pelletized fuel composition is made from a mixture of coal fines, and cellulosic by-product from ethanol production. The coal fines range from about 50%-90% by weight and the cellulosic by-product ranges from about 10%-50% by weight of the composition. The cellulosic by-product is a syrup or a cake. The syrup binds the coal fines. The coal fine and syrup mixture is pelletized to produce a solid fuel product that is easily handled and transported.
