Wood pellets are small, cylindrical, compressed wood granules typically made from sawdust or wood waste, used as a fuel source with consistent size and low moisture content, usually with a diameter between 6-8mm and a length several times its diameter, and meeting specific quality standards regarding ash content, moisture level, and calorific value to ensure efficient burning in dedicated pellet stoves or furnaces; they are considered a renewable and environmentally friendly fuel option due to their origin from wood by products.
