A2 / I2 pellet is a solution for installations where energy cost, stable volumes and predictable seasonal logistics matter. Each batch is confirmed with a quality protocol, including calorific value, moisture, ash and fines, while deliveries are handled in an intermodal or JIT road model — with unloading windows, ETA monitoring and a complete document package before unloading.
/ Why A2 Pellet? /
Key Advantages of A2 / I2 Pellet — Industrial Grade
By choosing our A2 / I2 pellet, you receive fuel designed for industrial installations: stable deliveries, verifiable parameters and a documentation process ready for audits. It is a solution for customers who focus on cost per MWh, volume predictability and efficient seasonal logistics.
Stable Parameters for Industry
Each batch is confirmed with a protocol covering: calorific value, moisture, ash, fraction/fines and bulk density. Parameters are selected according to the combustion technology and operating conditions.
Compliance and Documentation
Full batch traceability — LOT — plus a package of quality and origin documents. For regulated projects, we provide compliance documentation, such as KZR INiG / RED III, and reporting data on request.
Logistics from Source
Sea + intermodal rail — HCPW / ISO — + JIT road delivery. Planned unloading windows and ETA monitoring reduce installation downtime and ensure operational continuity.
Industrial Formats
FIBC 1000 kg or bulk — designed for fast unloading and storage. On request, packaging and WMS labeling — LOT / SSCC — are available.
Lower Unit Cost
A2/I2 pellet is typically chosen where the installation tolerates higher ash content and the priority is to optimize energy cost while maintaining quality control.
Volume Scalability
Port and domestic buffers + slot reservations. During the season, we increase volumes while maintaining a repeatable process and consistent communication.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions about A2/I2 pellet: class differences, COA parameters, logistics — JIT and slots, delivery format — bulk / FIBC, documents and traceability — LOT, and compliance.
A2 is a non-consumer-grade pellet with parameters close to premium standards, but with a permitted ash content higher than A1.
I2 (industrial) is designed strictly for industrial and energy installations — parameters are defined by the contract specification, and the key factor is matching the fuel to combustion technology, cleaning regime and environmental requirements.
In practice, A2 is more often chosen by more sensitive installations, while I2 is selected where volume and energy cost matter, while maintaining quality control.
When the installation tolerates higher ash content and the priority is cost per MWh and volume availability.
A2/I2 is often an optimal choice for heating plants and CHP plants, industrial boilers, installations with automatic ash removal and a stable service regime.
If minimal deposits and very low ash content are critical, A1 is usually the better option.
For each batch, we confirm parameters in the quality report (COA). The scope depends on the contract and installation, but typically includes:
calorific value, moisture, ash, bulk density, fines/dust and, if required, sulfur/chlorine.
Final values always refer to the specific batch and are provided with the delivery documentation.
In market practice, A2/I2 usually falls within the following ranges: calorific value around 16–18 MJ/kg, moisture up to 10%, and ash depending on the class
(A2 usually has a limit of around 1.2%, while I2 may be higher according to specification).
Most importantly: we do not rely on averages — what matters is the COA for the batch and matching the fuel to your technology.
Yes. Higher ash means more frequent ash removal and servicing, while a higher fines content may worsen feeding and increase material losses and dusting.
That is why, for A2/I2, we jointly define acceptable thresholds and select the delivery format and handling standards so that the installation does not generate unnecessary costs.
Bulk: usually the best cost per tonne for large volumes and ready unloading infrastructure.
FIBC 1000 kg: better batch control (LOT), easier storage and more flexible handling when yard or unloading conditions are limited.
We select the format based on your infrastructure, gate operations and HSE regime.
FIBC 1000 kg: better batch control (LOT), easier storage and more flexible handling when yard or unloading conditions are limited.
We select the format based on your infrastructure, gate operations and HSE regime.
We agree unloading time windows and gate procedures (HSE, required documents, contact person).
Then we make the delivery notification and manage the delivery for the specific window.
In recurring models, we plan deliveries by slots, which reduces downtime and stabilizes the installation’s operating rhythm.
Yes — we combine JIT with port or domestic buffers, if the project requires it.
During the season, this is key to maintaining supply continuity: buffering stabilizes availability, while JIT reduces excessive stock levels at the recipient’s site.
Most often: port → intermodal rail (HCPW/ISO) → terminal → road delivery to the installation.
This model reduces the number of reloading points, stabilizes ETA for larger volumes and makes slot planning easier during peak periods.
We apply protection and handling standards appropriate for the format (bulk/FIBC).
We control critical points: unit cleanliness, reloading method, sealing, storage conditions and dwell time.
We work with operational checklists to reduce human error and losses per tonne.
Depending on the relationship, you receive a complete set of transport and commercial documents as well as the COA (quality report) for the batch.
After unloading, we provide POD.
For regulated projects, we also prepare a compliance/reporting package according to the recipient’s requirements.
Yes. Each batch is traceable (LOT) and linked to quality and delivery documents.
Upon request, we provide the batch path and complete documentation.
We launch an investigation procedure: document verification, batch securing, sampling according to the agreed methodology and analysis of results, with an external laboratory if needed.
Then we jointly agree the settlement method: correction, replacement or another solution compliant with the contract.
Yes — provided that parameters such as fines/dust, moisture and diameter are matched to your feeding system and burner.
That is why, before preparing an offer, we collect technology data and recommend the batch specification and delivery format.
They depend on the format. For bulk deliveries, unloading infrastructure and safe yard organization are important.
For FIBC: storage space, dry conditions and batch rotation rules (FIFO).
Before the start, we confirm HSE, gate, equipment and time-window requirements.
Yes — where the project requires it. We define the required document and data package, ensure batch traceability and prepare for audit.
The scope depends on the end market and the recipient’s requirements.
MOQ and lead time depend on the delivery format, relationship and season.
For industrial projects, we usually work with recurring volumes and planned slots.
Specifics are provided after verifying the relationship and the availability of windows and resources.
Yes, depending on receiving organization and logistics. In practice, this often works as a mix:
base volume in bulk + flexible FIBC replenishments during the peak season.
The following is enough: installation technology (boiler/feeder), expected power/consumption, preferred format (bulk/FIBC), delivery location,
unloading windows, monthly volume and documentation/compliance requirements. Based on this, we select the specification and logistics.
Yes. If you provide technical and operational requirements, such as ash tolerance, dust limits or preferred diameter,
we will prepare a product/specification recommendation and delivery model, and confirm the parameters with the COA for the batch.
