Biomass & Renewables — ENplus A1 wood pellets and bagasse pellets with calorific value, ash and durability CoA
Egypt's sugar-cane mills in Upper Egypt generate bagasse at scale, and the agricultural residues of the Delta (rice straw, cotton stalks) are increasingly pelletised for industrial boilers and cement kilns. Egypt Globe Group supplies ENplus A1-certified 6 mm wood pellets from EU, Ukrainian and Egyptian producers, and sugarcane bagasse pellets from Egypt, Brazil and India for industrial co-firing; residue briquettes are available on request.
Biomass claims arise from net calorific value below contract, ash and fines above limit, moisture pick-up in transit and self-heating. The Quality Assurance division tests every lot at the port laboratory to ISO 17225 methods — NCV, ash, moisture, durability, fines, bulk density — and issues the CoA before the Bill of Lading. Lots outside the contracted CoA are rejected at the loading port.
