The Product

Wood pellets are a type of cylindrical organic fuel manufactured by densifying biomass derived from wood waste. With a calorific value exceeding 17 MJ/kg, equivalent to 5 kWh/kg, wood pellets possess low moisture and ash levels, remaining below 10% and 0.7%, respectively. These characteristics enable efficient combustion with high energy output and minimal residue. Furthermore, their high density, over 600 kg/m³, facilitates and optimizes transportation and storage.

Currently, UniPellets has an established export capacity, supplying the European market as well as delivering pellets for industrial use in the domestic market. The commercialization of this biofuel, by its very nature, has a significantly reduced environmental impact, promoting the reduction of CO2 emissions and supporting forest management by predominantly using materials from forest cleaning and wood industry waste.

Types of Pellets:

Domestic: Produced 100% from high-energy pine wood, these pellets are generally used in stoves, furnaces, boilers, barbecues, and other heating systems suitable for this type of biofuel.

Industrial: Manufactured from a specific blend of various wood species, these pellets are commonly used in industrial settings for energy and heat production.
