Wood Pellet Specifications: ENplus A1 and BSL Certified
Every Balcas Energy wood pellet, bulk or bagged, is certified to ENplus A1, the highest grade of the international wood pellet quality scheme, and we are an authorised supplier on the UK government’s Biomass Suppliers List (BSL). Both are independently audited.

What ENplus A1 guarantees
ENplus sets limits for moisture, ash, durability, fines and chemical content, and covers the whole supply chain - production, storage and transport to your door. Balcas was the first in the UK and Ireland to be audited for ENplus, gaining accreditation in April 2011. Regular external audits and sampling check that our pellets stay within the A1 limits.
Made and delivered by us
We control every step, from the timber to your store. Our pellets are made from the sawdust of our own sawmills, with no additives, at our mills in Northern Ireland and Scotland, and our own fleet delivers them in bulk and bags across the UK and Ireland. See how we make our wood pellets.
How to find your BSL fuel number
Your BSL number is printed on your invoice and shown in your online account. Because we deliver from several depots, each with its own authorisation, the number that applies to you is the one on your own delivery documentation. Sign in to your account to check it.
