Wood pellets are a high-efficiency, eco-friendly biomass fuel made from compressed sawdust and wood shavings. They are a clean-burning, renewable energy source widely used for heating in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. These pellets are cylindrical in shape, uniform in size, and offer consistent performance in modern pellet stoves, boilers, and furnaces. Their low moisture content ensures high combustion efficiency, making them an ideal alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
Wood pellets are also easy to handle, store, and transport, with minimal ash residue after burning. They contribute significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and help in maintaining a sustainable energy cycle.
Specifications:
Diameter: 6mm or 8mm
Length: 10mm to 40mm
Moisture Content: ≤10
Ash Content: ≤1.5
Calorific Value: ≥4,600 Kcal/kg
Bulk Density: ≥600 kg/m³
Material: 100 natural wood (hardwood/softwood blend)
Additives: None – pure compressed biomass
Packing Options: 15kg bags, jumbo bags, or as required
Usage: Home heating, industrial boilers, biomass power plants
These pellets are designed to deliver reliable and efficient heating performance while promoting environmental sustainability.

- category A includes shaped wood laid in stacks and doubles - hardwood hardwood stacks, with a maximum of 10% softwood or softwood wood;
- hardwood hardwood stacks, with a maximum of 10% wood with a thickness of 5 cm at the thin end, split (lobed): max. 30 cm face width.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Firewood must be cut to 30 cm in length and split/cracked to a maximum thickness of 20 cm. It must also be placed on pallets so that it can be measured upon delivery.
ANOMALIES AND DEFECTS:
- Firewood of all categories may have all anomalies and defects, except for brittle and fibrous rot.
SHAPING:

MOISTURE:
- The moisture content of firewood in categories A is established indirectly in relation to the weight of the stack, as shown below.
- The weight of firewood in categories A, at the time of delivery by the producer or distributor, must not exceed, at a cubic factor of 0.62 m³.
