Pine pellets are a type of biofuel derived from pine trees. They are typically produced by drying and compressing pine sawdust, wood chips, and other woody waste. The pellets are small, cylindrical in shape (usually 6–8 mm in diameter and 1–3 cm in length) and are used as a highly energy-efficient fuel.

Pine Pellet Properties:
• Raw Material: Pine sawdust, bark, or woodchips
• Energy Value: Generally around 4,500–5,000 kcal/kg
• Moisture Content: Low (around 8–10%), resulting in high combustion efficiency
• Ash Content: Low, resulting in less cleaning required
• Density: Its high density allows for long-term combustion

Areas of Use:
• Stoves and boilers: Especially for heating in pellet stoves and boilers
• Industrial facilities: For steam and hot water production
• Barbecues and ovens: For cooking food (not in contact with food)

Advantages:
• Environmentally friendly: Lower carbon emissions than fossil fuels
• Economical: Can be more cost-effective, especially when compared to natural gas or electricity
• Renewable: A sustainable resource because it is produced from forest waste
