Wood Pellets
Wood pellets are a clean, CO2-neutral and convenient fuel, mostly produced from sawdust and wood shavings, compressed under high pressure using no glue or other additives. They are cylindrical in shape and usually 6-10 mm in diameter and 10-30 mm in length. As a highly standardized and high-density fuel, pellets allow cost-efficient transportation and automatic operation of plants for heat and electricity production, from private homes to large-scale power plants.
With a rapidly growing share of the market, they are a key technology for increasing biomass utilisation in Europe and beyond, especially in the heating sector. Pellets are also an excellent way of using local resources thus making a concrete contribution to environmental and climate change protection.
