BeO Pellets: The Pioneering Innovation Conventional Pellets Conventional pellets predominantly use sawdust and wood shavings for production. In Switzerland, there is an insufficient supply of these materials, leading to imports. Many pellets are also directly imported, mainly from Belarus and Eastern Europe. BeO Pellets GmbH does not use imported sawdust and wood shavings. BeO Pellets GmbH BeO Pellets GmbH is part of the 3% of Swiss companies producing pellets from regional forest wood. This niche has significant potential. As demand for pellets increases, the production of forest wood pellets will also need to rise to secure the domestic share of pellets. Swiss forests have a large amount of unused energy wood. BeO Pellets • Made 100% from regional coniferous and deciduous wood. • Have up to 10% higher energy density than conventional pellets. • Entire value chain, from forest to end consumer, is regional. • Raw material for pellet production is dried without fossil fuels. • Produced without pressing aids. • Long transport routes are eliminated. • Certified with the "Swiss Natural Wood Pellets" label. • Delivery possible with special vehicles even on narrow access roads. BeO Pellets' Contribution to Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Energy wood from the Bernese Oberland is used efficiently, with short transport routes. Wood pellets are an excellent fuel and allow for automatic heating operations similar to oil or gas heating systems. Wood pellets and wood chips are renewable energies and CO2 neutral. Their grey energy share is the lowest among all heating systems. BeO Pellets' Economic Contribution The entire value chain is generated in the Bernese Oberland. This includes foresters, service technicians for equipment and machinery, transport companies, the pellet producer, and the end customer. We help maintain and create jobs in various sectors.
