Arbapellets - Advanced Wood Pellet (AWP)
– key advantages
 Energy value and other properties close to coal
 Transport, storage, handling, milling and combustion
with same equipment
 Coal replacement up to 100 % with minor modification
(white pellets up to 5 %)
 Reduction of CO2 emissions by 100 %
Water resistance represents a key advantage Arbapellets favorably positioned compared with
alternative technologies
Source: Arbaflame
Arbapellets vs. White Pellets Arbapellets vs. Coal
 Water resistant
 “Dust free” – lower dust explosion risk
 40 % lower volume - same energy content
 Lower handling, storage and transport cost
 Outstanding mechanical properties
