Why Source from Vietnam

A scaled biomass industry, not a side hustle

Vietnam exported over 4.8 million metric tons of wood pellets in 2023 — second only to the US. Mills are concentrated in Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Quang Ninh, with reliable rubberwood and acacia feedstock from FSC-managed plantations.

01

Stable feedstock supply

Vietnam's plantation-based acacia and end-of-life rubberwood industries produce consistent residue volume year-round — no seasonal collapse like agri-byproduct pellets.

02

Cost vs origin alternatives

Typically 15–25% lower FOB pricing than Canadian or Russian pellets, with shorter shipping to Japan and Korea than North American supply.

03

Certification maturity

Top-tier mills hold EN-Plus, FSC-COC, ISO 9001 — already shipping to Hanwha, KEPCO, Mitsubishi, and major EU utilities. No first-mover risk for buyers.

How We Source

From buyer brief to container loaded — what we manage

We are not a mill. We are sourcing operators based in Vietnam who match your spec to a vetted producer, then stay involved through QC and shipment.

Brief & shortlist

You send target spec (calorific, ash, certification, volume). We shortlist 2–3 mills that match — including capacity check.

Sample & lab test

Pellet samples shipped to your facility or independent lab. SGS/Intertek tested if needed. You confirm spec match before any deposit.

Contract & production

Contract structured FOB or CIF. We monitor production at mill, photo/video updates weekly. Pre-shipment inspection booked.

QC & shipment

Third-party inspection at loading. Lab certificate, phyto, CO, FSC-CoC docs issued. Full document set sent before B/L release.

Who We Supply

Built for industrial biomass buyers, not retail

If your minimum order is a few pallets, we are not the right fit. If you buy by the container or vessel, this is what we do every day.

EU power & co-firing utilities

RED III compliant supply, sustainability documentation, port discharge at Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp. Annual contract structures available.

Japan & Korea biomass plants

FIT-compliant pellets for Japanese co-firing and Korean RPS programs. Discharge at Onahama, Sendai, Incheon, Yeosu. JIS-aligned QC.

Biomass traders & distributors

Container-load and full-vessel volumes, repeat lifting schedules, FOB Cat Lai or Cai Mep with flexible Incoterms. Brokers welcome.

FAQ

Common questions from biomass buyers

What's the minimum order quantity?
One full container (40HC ≈ 25 MT) for FOB shipments. For CIF or vessel loads, we work from 500 MT upwards. We do not handle LCL or pallet-level orders.
Can you supply EN-Plus A1 grade for residential boilers?
Yes. A1 grade (ash ≤ 0.7%, low sulphur, tight bulk density) is available from EN-Plus certified mills in our network. Pricing is higher than industrial grade — typically 8–15% premium FOB.
What payment terms do mills accept?
Standard is 30% T/T deposit, 70% against B/L copy. L/C at sight is accepted by larger mills for orders above 1,000 MT. We do not recommend 100% pre-payment with any supplier.
How do you handle pre-shipment QC?
Third-party inspection (SGS, Intertek, or Vinacontrol — your choice) is booked before container sealing. Inspection covers calorific value, moisture, ash, sulphur, and physical condition. Report issued before B/L release.
Do you provide sustainability / chain-of-custody documents?
Yes — for FSC-CoC mills we provide full chain documentation. For RED III compliance we can support SBP (Sustainable Biomass Program) certified suppliers, though SBP-certified Vietnamese mills are limited and pricing reflects that.
Are you the mill or a trader?
Neither. We are an independent sourcing operator. We earn from the buyer side (sourcing fee or built into FOB margin) and stay accountable to the buyer through QC and delivery. The mill is named in the contract — no hidden middle layer.
