Sustainable Biomass Pellets from Balcas Energy
Balcas Energy, the energy division of Balcas, produces high-quality, locally sourced bagged biomass pellets. As a leader in the timber industry since 1962, Balcas has grown into one of the largest sawmill operators in the UK and Ireland. Our success comes from extensive industry knowledge and a deep respect for timber.
Pioneering Eco-Friendly Wood Pellet Production
Balcas Energy was created to maximize every tree’s potential. Our sawmill operations generate pure sawdust, which we repurpose into sustainable bagged biomass pellets. In 2004, our engineers developed an innovative process using natural tree resin as a binder to produce premium wood pellets.
Originally branded as brites, our ENplus A1 wood pellets now account for 50% of Balcas’ business. In 2016, Balcas acquired Forever Fuels, the UK’s largest wood pellet distributor. By 2019, we rebranded as Balcas Energy, strengthening our commitment to growth and sustainability.
Our expert biomass team ensures efficient operations. Thanks to our advanced Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants, both of our production sites run entirely on renewable energy, making the manufacturing process self-sufficient.
