The facility will be able to produce around 150,000 tonnes a year of pellets when it comes online at the beginning of 2016.
The company has already secured long-term supply contracts for the raw materials for the plant. This will be Graanul's Invest group's eighth wood pellet factory."
On 23 November 2018, a contract was concluded with the Central Finance and Contracting Agency about implementing the ERAF project “Implementation of experimental technology in the production of NewFuels RSEZ SIA for producing the high-quality pellets”.

The modernization process involves the introduction of a new technological process consisting of two lines:
- The experimental innovative line for heating using fuel of high ash content for manufacturing a new product.
- An equipment complex for maturation/condensation of the new product.
The total cost of the project is EUR 3 040 764,93. The eligible costs of the project are EUR 2 073 826,00, ERAF funding is EUR 933 221,70.
The European Union has set a target of at least a 27 % share of renewable energy consumption by 2030. This objective has resulted in a surge in the production and consumption of wood pellets. The global production of pellets was approximately 31 million t in 2017, and Latvia was the third-largest producer of wood pellets in Europe. Latvia shipped 90 % of its total wood pellet production abroad and consumed only about 10 % of the total in its domestic market.
How to choose the types of each machine in a wood pellet line? We will help you to sort out the best machine for your production, but first of all, we need to understand the basic information before providing you an outline price and specification of the pellet line.
1. What type of raw material you are expecting to process
2. How many different ingredients are to be processed together
3. Whether your material is "dry", moisture content 12-15%
4. Whether the size of your raw material is less than 4mm in diameter
5. What output per hour is required for the pellet line
6. The standards of your electricity. ie 380V/440V/415V/220V, 50HZ/60HZ. Because the electric elements made in China are 380V/50HZ, we must supply a different element to match your electricity standards.
