Buyer FAQ: Sourcing Biomass from Indonesia

Answers to questions we get most often from overseas buyers looking into Wood Pellet, Wood Chips, and Cocopeat supply.

What's the difference between wood pellet and wood chips as fuel?

Wood pellet is compressed to a uniform 6–8mm diameter with moisture held around 8%, which makes it predictable for boiler dosing systems. Wood chips are cut larger (10–50mm), carry more moisture (roughly 20–30%), and are typically used where volume matters more than uniformity — pulp mills and larger industrial furnaces, for example.

What calorific value can I expect from your wood pellet?

Pellets are tested to fall within a 4,300–4,800 kcal/kg range, with ash content kept under approximately 3%. Certificates of analysis can be provided per shipment on request.

Is cocopeat the same thing as coco coir fiber?

Not quite — cocopeat (also called coir pith) is the fine, spongy material left after coconut husk fiber is removed. It's washed down to an EC below 0.5 mS/cm and a pH between 5.5–6.8 before being compressed into 5kg blocks, which is what makes it suitable as a hydroponic growing medium rather than raw agricultural waste.

What's your current monthly production capacity?

Wood pellet output runs around 2,500 metric tons per month. Wood chips and cocopeat volumes scale with order size and are confirmed per inquiry, since sourcing depends on the season and region.

How is everything packed for export?

Depending on the order, we pack in bulk container loads, woven sacks (15–25kg), or jumbo bags (500–1,000kg / FIBC) for port-side forklift or crane handling. Current export lanes run to South Korea, Japan, and the UAE.
