What are
black pellets?

Black pellets are a high-energy, renewable biofuel made from sustainably sourced biomass through a process called torrefaction - a form of thermal treatment that transforms organic material into a dense, carbon-rich solid. When raw biomass (e.g. agricultural residues, forestry by-products) is torrefied, moisture and volatile compounds are driven off, leaving behind robust, energy-dense pellets.

Unlike traditional fossil fuels, black pellets are produced from renewable resources and offer a lower-carbon alternative to coal - making them well-suited as a sustainable fuel for industrial heating and power generation. They are engineered to be durable, water-resistant and easy to handle, meaning they can be stored and transported with minimal fuss while delivering consistent performance.

Key characteristics

High calorific value - Providing a substantial energy output comparable to coal.

Low moisture content and high bulk density - Maximizing fuel efficiency and combustion quality.

Made from waste biomass - Turning low-value residues into a valuable and carbon-neutral energy source.

Built to be a straightforward drop-in alternative for existing coal infrastructure, black pellets help industries reduce emissions and support the transition to cleaner energy without costly equipment changes.

Advantages of switching from coal

Existing infrastructure

Black pellets have similar properties to coal, making it a straightforward transition without the need for expensive investment.

Reduced emissions

As a biogenic fuel, no new
CO2 emissions are generated by using black pellets, reducing to zero the carbon impact of equivalent coal quantities.

Increased resilience

Compared to other biomass fuels, black pellets are highly water resistant, meaning handling and storage is straightforward.

Carbon capture & storage

Pyrolysis of waste biomass produces biochar that allows us to capture the carbon and prevent it from re-entering the atmosphere. Biochar can remain in soils for thousands of years, thus qualifying for carbon removal credits.
