Brites and Forever Fuels are now known as Balcas Energy…

Some of you know us as Balcas. Some know us as brites. And since we purchased one of the largest wood pellets distributors in the UK in September 2018, some know us as Forever Fuels. Balcas Energy wood pellet fuel remains as high quality as ever.

However, from now on, we will be known as Balcas Energy:

Balcas Energy Powers Brilliant Tomorrows

Leading the Way in Renewable Heating Across the UK & Ireland:

Balcas Energy

Balcas has rebranded its brites wood pellets business as Balcas Energy to attract thousands of new renewable energy customers across the UK and Ireland. By aligning with the core Balcas brand, the company highlights its strong environmental credentials and commitment to sustainability.

Helping Homes & Businesses Decarbonise Their Heat Source

Balcas Energy provides affordable, reliable, and renewable heating solutions to meet the increasing energy demands of homes and businesses. Business Development Director Ian McCracken emphasizes the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. He states, “Our goal is to make renewable energy accessible year-round, giving people the power to choose a cleaner, greener future.”

Sustainable Forestry: Balancing Energy Production & Environmental Protection

Balcas Energy follows a strict sustainable forestry policy, harvesting trees only from locally managed forests while planting four new trees for every one harvested. This approach delivers two key benefits:

1. Carbon Neutrality – Newly planted trees absorb carbon, offsetting emissions from harvested wood.

2. Improved Biodiversity – Increasing forest cover enhances ecosystems and supports climate change mitigation.

These sustainable practices make biomass a crucial tool for governments aiming to cut carbon emissions from coal, oil, and gas heating systems while meeting rising energy demands.

100% Renewable Energy Production & Carbon Savings

McCracken explains, “When trees naturally decay, they release carbon dioxide. Instead, we use every part of harvested trees to create timber products and energy. Timber products act as long-term carbon sinks, while our wood pellet production runs on 100% renewable energy.”

Over the last decade, Balcas Energy has sold 2 million tonnes of wood pellets, replacing 1 billion litres of oil and saving an estimated 3 million tonnes of carbon.

Reliable Supply Chain & Exceptional Service

Balcas Energy controls its entire supply chain, ensuring consistent product quality and uninterrupted supply from forest to flame. The company’s rebrand strengthens its customer-first approach, reflecting its focus on service excellence.

A Growing Network of Renewable Energy Solutions

Balcas acquired Forever Fuels in 2018, combining the UK’s largest wood pellet manufacturer with one of its largest distributors. The rebranded Balcas Energy now operates:

  • 10 depots (2 in Ireland, 8 in Great Britain)
  • 45 dedicated delivery vehicles
  • Fully managed wood pellet heat plants, including steam-generating systems for industrial energy needs

Part of a Global Renewable Energy Leader

We are a subsidiary of SHV Group, a multinational, family-owned business with a €20 billion turnover and 60,000 employees worldwide. Through its sister company, Balcas Timber, the company ensures 100% yield from harvested wood, maximizing sustainability.

Choose Balcas Energy for a Greener Future

Balcas Energy makes low-cost, renewable heating a practical reality for homes and businesses. With a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and customer service, the company continues to lead the transition to cleaner energy across the UK and Ireland.
