An economical, environmentally conscious fuel with a high energy content. If sunflower husk pellets are new to you, the questions below will help you understand the most important things you need to know.
What are sunflower husk pellets?
A biomass fuel made from 100% sunflower seed husks. No binders or additives are used during production; the pellets are produced solely by compressing the raw material under high pressure.
What is the calorific value of the pellets?
Sunflower husk pellets have a calorific value of 18–20 MJ/kg (approx. 5 kWh/kg). This means that approximately 2 kg of pellets contain roughly the same amount of energy as 1 m³ of natural gas.
What is the difference between sunflower husk pellets and wood pellets?
The main differences are ash content and price. Wood pellets typically have an ash content below 1.5%, while sunflower husk pellets generally contain around 2–3% ash. However, sunflower husk pellets are usually more affordable, making them a more economical heating option in many cases.
Why do sunflower husk pellets produce more ash?
Sunflower husks naturally contain more minerals than wood, which results in more ash being left behind after combustion. This is not a quality issue, but a natural characteristic of the raw material.

A natural, high-energy fuel with a long burn time and low ash production, offering a convenient and economical alternative to conventional fuels.
What are sunflower husk briquettes?
Like pellets, briquettes are a natural fuel made from renewable raw materials and compressed under high pressure. Thanks to their dense structure, they burn more slowly, release heat over a longer period and provide an economical heating solution.
What is the difference between briquettes and pellets?
Briquettes are larger and are manually fed into the heating appliance, while pellets are designed for automatic feeding systems.
What types of heating appliances can sunflower husk briquettes be used in?
They can be used in fireplaces, masonry heaters, solid-fuel boilers and stoves.
How do sunflower husk briquettes burn in a fireplace?
Sunflower husk briquettes burn evenly and provide a high heat output. Thanks to their dense structure, they continue to glow for longer than conventional firewood. With sufficient airflow, they burn efficiently, although they may produce slightly more ash than wood briquettes.
The main difference between sunflower husk pellets and briquettes lies in how they are used: pellets are designed for automatic pellet boilers, while briquettes are primarily used in traditional fireplaces, masonry heaters and solid-fuel boilers.
