Why choose sawdust from Södra?
Sawdust from Södra is an excellent biofuel for heating plants and industrial use, thanks to its high energy content (0.67 MWh/m³s) and low ash content (0.4%). With a moisture content of 50–55%, it is highly efficient for combustion.
Södra offers FSC®-certified sawdust, ensuring sustainability and quality directly from family-owned forests. Sawdust can be used directly for combustion or further processed into products such as pellets, making it a versatile and reliable energy source.
