What are Wood Briquettes?

Wood briquettes are compressed blocks made from biomass materials such as sawdust, wood chips, peat, charcoal, or paper. They serve as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuels like coal and charcoal and are widely used for heating and kindling.

Benefits and Uses of Wood Briquettes:

1. Biofuel Substitute: Wood briquettes are an excellent substitute for coal and charcoal, particularly in regions where cooking fuels are scarce. In the developing world, they are a popular fuel source for cooking, while in developed countries, they are increasingly used to heat industrial boilers for electricity generation. These briquettes can be co-fired with coal to produce the necessary heat for boilers.
2. High-Efficiency Heating: Wood briquettes are specially pressed for efficient heating. Made primarily from spruce and pine softwood, they have a moisture content of less than 13% and an energy content of 4.7 kWh/kg. Their dense composition and low moisture make them an effective and biosecure fuel for stoves, ensuring a long-lasting and consistent burn.
3. Environmentally Friendly: Wood briquettes are one of the most eco-friendly biofuels available. They are produced from the byproducts of the timber industry, such as sawdust, which is compressed into bricks without any added chemicals. The natural adhesive lignin, present in wood, binds the sawdust together, resulting in a product with high density and energy value, and a very low moisture content.

Packaging Options:

Wood briquettes are available in the following packaging options:

• 12 briquettes per plastic bag: Dimensions 370 x 150 x 190 mm, total weight 10 kg.
• 96 bags per pallet: Total weight 960 kg.
• Pallet size: 1200 x 800 x 1440 mm.
• 24 pallets per semi-trailer.
