Wood pellets are a type of biomass fuel made from compressed sawdust, wood shavings, and other wood residues. They are small, cylindrical, and uniform in size, usually about 6β10 mm in diameter, which makes them easy to transport, store, and handle. Produced by drying, grinding, and compressing raw wood waste without chemical binders, they are considered a sustainable and renewable energy source.
These pellets have a high energy density and burn efficiently with low moisture content, producing consistent heat output and fewer emissions compared to raw firewood. They are widely used for residential heating in pellet stoves, industrial boilers, and large-scale power generation plants as a cleaner alternative
