Pine pellets are biomass pellet fuel produced by compressing pine tree sawdust, wood chips, or wood residue. They are primarily used in residential and industrial heating systems. They are a natural, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy source.
What are Pine Pellets?
Raw Material: 100% pine wood (especially dry sawdust and woodchip)
Shape: Cylindrical, 6-8 mm in diameter and 2-4 cm long
Usage: Pellet stoves, boilers, furnaces, heating systems
Pine Pellet Properties:
Density: Approximately 650–750 kg/m³ (loose), 1.1–1.3 kg/dm³ (compressed)
Moisture: 6%–10% (dried)
Calorific value: 4,500–5,000 kcal/kg
Ash content: 0.3–0.7% (very low)
Color: Light yellow to golden brown
Odor: Natural wood scent
Environmentally friendly: Low CO₂ emissions, considered carbon neutral
✅ Advantages of Pine Pellets:
🔥 Provides high combustion efficiency (up to 90%)
♻️ Does not pollute the environment because it is natural and additive-free
💨 Low ash content makes cleaning the stove or boiler easier
🌍 Carbon neutral: the CO₂ released when burned is equal to the CO₂ retained by the tree throughout its life
🧩 Easy feeding in automatic systems (regular size and density)
⚠️ Important Notes:
Quality pine pellets do not contain additives (no resin, glue, or adhesives)
♻️ Should not be stored in humid environments; if they absorb water, their thermal efficiency decreases.
Proper storage and ventilation should be provided.
