LignoTherm Burgdorf GmbH

Over 30 years of hands-on expertise in plant engineering feed directly into the ongoing development of our production. Precisely tuned control loops and a high degree of automation ensure particularly stable and efficient operation.

The residual wood is a by-product of glulam production anyway. By processing it directly on site, we keep transport distances to a minimum. Production requires just 94.4 kWh of electricity per tonne. At a calorific value of 4,900 kWh per tonne, that amounts to around 1.9% embodied energy.

Many suppliers import pellets from overseas to maximize profit – at the expense of sustainability.
Our pellets are 100% produced in Burgdorf and sold almost exclusively within a 20 km radius.
That’s what we call true regionality and genuine sustainability.

Pellets are climate-friendly – when burned, they release only as much CO₂ as the tree absorbed while growing.Thanks to their low residual moisture, combustion is clean and efficient.Delivery is conveniently made by tanker truck directly to your storage silo.

No. While all energy sources show seasonal fluctuations, pellet prices have proven far more stable over time:

- Wood pellets: approx. 8 Rp./kWh (fluctuation ~65%)
- Heating oil: approx. 8.8 Rp./kWh (fluctuation ~100%)
- Natural gas: approx. 11.3 Rp./kWh (fluctuation ~80%)

One tonne of pellets contains about half the energy content of heating oil.
This means you need roughly twice as many pellets as heating oil, but at much more stable prices and with a significantly better climate footprint.
