Yeah, I read that in the patent. It's a biodegradeable covering on the pellet that adds to a good ignition response. From patent:

The fines may be optionally delivered to a pelletizing or briquetting process where these 250° F. fines may be conventionally mixed with a biodegradable coating (binder and igniter) that is in a liquid state at 250° F. This mixed material is then formed into the desired sized pellet using conventional methods. If the treated coal were destined to go directly into a furnace, i.e. a utility use, this coating process would not be necessary. When the product is scheduled for conventional handling and the end user requires a material that is resistant to breakage, this coating process is employed. This coating also adds a low-level ignition point, which provides a valuable quality, especially when the end user is a domestic user.


They were thinkin when they came up with the whole thing.
