NOVELTY - Producing pellets from biomass (1) in a pellet press, comprises heating and drying the biomass consisting of cellulose- and/or lignocellulose containing fibers, chips, or particles, in a dryer (2); and separating the dried and heated biomass from the drying air and feeding it into a pellet press, where the temperature of the biomass in treating area between the dryer and the pellet press, is increased with hot air, or is maintained, the treating area comprises at least portions of supply line and/or at least a further device for carrying out at least one further process step.    USE - The biomass pellets are useful as fuel in fireplace.    ADVANTAGE - The method: makes use of energy-saving biomass, preferably wood pulp and thus the method is energetically economic; and consumes less energy since the entire method is carried out in an energetically optimized manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing pellets from biomass (1) in a pellet press, comprises heating and drying the biomass consisting of cellulose- and/or lignocellulose containing fibers, chips, or particles, in a dryer (2); and separating the dried and heated biomass from the drying air and feeding it into a pellet press, where the temperature of the biomass in treating area between the dryer and the pellet press, is increased with hot air, or is maintained, the treating area comprises at least portions of supply line and/or at least a further device for carrying out at least one further process step, and the temperature of the hot air is greater than at least 65 degrees C. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a system for producing the pellets from the biomass in a pellet press, which is used as a fuel in fireplace, comprising: a dryer for drying and heating the biomass, and a lock for removing the drying air in production direction, arranged before the pellet press, where at least one treating area is arranged between the lock and the pellet press in the system and this treating area is provided with at least one transport medium for transporting the biomass between the dryer and the pellet press and/or at least one device for carrying out at least one further process step, and the treating area is associated with at least one heating device for heating and/or providing the hot air of a temperature of greater than 65 degrees C, where the heating device is operatively connected at least once with the transport medium and/or with a device for carrying out further process steps for the supply of hot air.
