Activities

Companies from the composition of the Russian Pellet Union made presentations at the Operational Headquarters of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Vladimir Mammatov, Executive Director of the Association "Russian Pellet Union", on September 13, 2022, within the framework of the exhibition "Lesdrevmash-2022" at the international Biofuel Congress "Energy from biomass: boiler houses and thermal power plants for biofuel, production of pellets, briquettes, biocoal and wood chips" presented report on the topic “Domestic wood biofuel market, anti-crisis solutions and new consumers”.

Considering the relevance of the development of demand for pellets within the country, we are especially pleased to welcome a new Partner of our Union - the group of companies “Fizika Tepla”.

The Russian Pellet Union (RPU) is hosting a webinar on "Changes to the requirements of the leading European certification systems for wood pellets", which will be held on Friday, March 11, 2022 at 8.30 – 10.45 CET. 

Today, all leading European certification systems for wood pellets are either finalising their work on the development of their requirements, or have already started to implement them.

The Russian Pellet Union (RPU), in order to protect its business reputation and exclude a discriminatory approach to Russian pellet producers, interacts with the holders of the leading European certification systems and closely monitors the procedures for amending existing certification standards.

In particular, since 2021, the RPU has been actively working with the holders of the SBP certification system, directed against a radical change in the SBP standards.

The system of the Russian Pellet Union for an objective determination of pellet color is welcomed by the market with open arms.

More and more pellet manufacturers, traders and service providers have been using RPU’s Pellet Color Determination System. The color is determined directly at the producer, and since the delivery time to the port is often long, buyers have sufficient time to optimize where to distribute the pellets, for example to unload them to a separate warehouse, or to redirect them to another client.

Good news from Vologda. At the international forest forum “Russian Forest” the Russian Pellet Union (RPU) signed a cooperation agreement with “Preferred by Nature”, one of the leading biomass certification bodies in Russia. The agreement promotes the certification of sustainable biomass production in Russia, and members of the RPU obtain a 10% discount on certification services.

A similar cooperation agreement was signed with “BiomassConsult”...
