Introduction
Wood pellets are becoming the preferred heating fuel for both residential and industrial applications worldwide. They are efficient, environmentally friendly, and convenient to use. However, not all pellets are created equal — their quality can vary widely depending on production methods and raw materials. This is why certifications like A1 and A2 exist, providing a standard that guarantees high performance, safety, and sustainability.
At CORTONA PELLET S.R.L.S. (Europe-Pellets), all our wood pellets meet these international standards, ensuring customers receive consistent, reliable fuel.
What Are A1 and A2 Wood Pellet Standards?
A1 and A2 certifications are part of the ENplus standard, which measures key pellet quality indicators:
-
Moisture content – lower moisture ensures higher calorific efficiency and cleaner combustion.
-
Ash content – lower ash results in less residue and reduced cleaning frequency.
-
Size and density – uniform pellets improve performance in stoves and boilers.
-
Sustainability – certified pellets are made from responsibly sourced wood.
A1 pellets are the highest grade, ideal for residential stoves and small-scale heating systems, while A2 pellets are slightly larger in size and used for larger boilers or industrial applications.
Why Certification Matters
-
Consistent Performance: Certified pellets burn evenly, producing stable heat and high energy efficiency.
-
Reduced Maintenance: Low ash content means less frequent cleaning of stoves or boilers.
-
Safety: Certification ensures compliance with international safety and quality regulations.
-
Environmental Responsibility: A1 and A2 pellets are made from renewable wood, supporting sustainable forestry and reducing carbon emissions.
By choosing certified pellets, homeowners and industrial users alike can enjoy reliable heating while contributing to a greener future.
