Wood Pellets Supplier in Europe
Palmal Paletes supplies wood pellets for residential heating, commercial heating, industrial biomass systems and energy applications across Portugal and European markets.
Our wood pellet range is available in different packaging formats and specifications, including bagged pellets, 15 kg pellets, big bag pellets and bulk pellets, depending on availability and customer requirements.
Wood pellets are a convenient biomass fuel produced by compressing wood material into small, uniform cylindrical pellets. Their consistent format makes them suitable for automated feeding systems, pellet stoves, boilers and other compatible biomass heating equipment.
Whether you require a few pallets for heating or larger quantities for commercial or industrial use, we can discuss supply according to your required specification, quantity and delivery location.

What Are Wood Pellets?
Wood pellet are a form of solid biomass fuel manufactured by compressing suitable wood material into small cylindrical pellets.
Their compact and uniform shape makes them convenient to:
- Transport
- Store
- Handle
- Feed automatically
- Measure during combustion
- Use in compatible heating systems
Wood pellet are commonly used in residential pellet stoves, domestic boilers, commercial heating systems and larger biomass installations.
The appropriate pellet specification depends on the heating equipment, required fuel quality and intended application.
Types of Wood Pellets
Palmal Paletes can supply different types and formats of wood pellet according to availability and customer requirements.
ENplus A1 Wood Pellets

These pellets can be suitable for:
- Pellet stoves
- Residential boilers
- Commercial heating
- Biomass heating systems
Important: Do not describe a product as ENplus A1 certified unless the specific supplied product has the appropriate certification.
Softwood Pellets
Softwood pellets are manufactured from softwood biomass and are commonly used for heating applications.
The performance of softwood pellets depends on the raw material, manufacturing process and final specification rather than simply the wood species.
Heating Pellets
Heating pellets are designed for compatible pellet heating equipment and can be supplied in different packaging formats depending on the customer’s requirements.
Industrial Wood Pellets
Industrial Heating pellets are supplied for larger-scale applications such as:
- Industrial boilers
- Commercial heating
- Biomass energy systems
- Large heating installations
- Energy production
The required specification should be confirmed according to the equipment and intended use.
Wood Pellet Packaging Options

Bag weight and pallet configuration should be confirmed when requesting a quotation.
Big Bag Wood Pellets
Big bag pellets are supplied in large flexible bags and are particularly suitable for commercial, agricultural and industrial customers requiring larger quantities.
Typical big-bag weights can vary, with the current product information indicating approximately 500–1,000 kg, depending on the supply configuration.

Bulk pellets are supplied without individual retail bags and are intended for larger-volume requirements.
They can be suitable for:
- Industrial boilers
- Commercial heating
- Biomass heating systems
- Large storage facilities
- Energy applications
Bulk supply can provide more efficient handling for customers consuming significant quantities.
Wood Pellets for Residential Heating
Heating pellets are widely used as fuel in compatible pellet stoves and boilers.
For residential applications, customers should consider:
- Pellet diameter
- Pellet quality
- Ash content
- Moisture
- Heating value
- Equipment compatibility
- Storage capacity
- Packaging format
For household heating, bagged pellets can provide easier storage and handling than bulk supply.
Wood Pellets for Commercial Heating
Commercial buildings can use pellet heating systems where biomass heating is appropriate for the building and available infrastructure.
Potential applications include:
- Commercial buildings
- Warehouses
- Agricultural facilities
- Workshops
- Hotels
- Institutional buildings
- Heating installations
For commercial projects, we recommend confirming annual consumption, storage capacity and boiler requirements before selecting the pellet specification.
Industrial Wood Pellets
Industrial customers often require significantly larger quantities than residential users.
Industrial Heating pellets can be supplied in bulk or big-bag formats, depending on the customer’s storage and handling system.
Applications may include:
- Industrial biomass boilers
- Manufacturing facilities
- Large heating systems
- Agricultural operations
- Biomass energy projects
- Commercial energy systems
For larger contracts, the most important factors include consistent specification, supply volume, delivery schedule and logistics.
How to Choose the Right Wood Pellets
Choosing the right pellet is not simply a matter of selecting the cheapest price.
Consider these factors before ordering:
1. Heating System
Check the manufacturer’s requirements for your pellet stove, boiler or biomass system.
2. Pellet Diameter
Common pellet diameters include 6 mm and 8 mm, but the correct size depends on the equipment. The current Palmal Paletes ENplus A1 listing specifies 6 mm or 8 mm options.
3. Ash Content
Lower ash content can reduce the amount of ash that needs to be removed from compatible heating equipment.
4. Moisture
Moisture affects fuel handling and combustion performance. Pellets should be stored in dry conditions.
5. Heating Value
Heating value indicates the amount of energy available from the fuel. Always compare products using the same measurement basis.
6. Packaging
Choose between:
- 15 kg bags
- Standard bags
- Big bags
- Bulk delivery
based on your storage and handling system.
7. Quantity
Residential customers may require a few pallets, while industrial customers may require full truckloads or recurring deliveries.
Wood Pellet Storage
Proper storage is essential for maintaining pellet quality.
Wood pellets should be:
- Kept dry
- Protected from rain
- Protected from direct moisture
- Stored in a suitable covered area
- Kept away from water ingress
- Handled carefully to minimise unnecessary pellet breakage
For bulk storage, customers should ensure that the storage facility is appropriate for pellet fuel and compatible with the planned feeding system.
