Our production site at Dumfries

Dumfries Production

The cornerstone of our supply chain is our wood pellet production plant situated on the South West coast of Scotland in the picturesque Small Dumfries and Galloway town of Lochmaben. The plant was developed and built by Border Biofuels and is adjacent to the Galloway National Forest, the largest forested area in the UK.

What does the production at Border Biofuels look like?

The UNESCO Biosphere has been recognised internationally as a world-class environment for people and nature and aims to value and protect the biological and cultural diversity of the region while promoting environmentally sustainable development. Border Biofuels is proud to be a supporter of the Biosphere and its aims.

Our production facility is primarily supplied with the byproducts of the sawmilling industry, but we have also successfully developed a facility in Dumfries, that converts peanut hulls, an entirely sustainable raw material, into a competitive and valuable product.

All the pellets that are produced on site meet, or exceed, the ENplus A1 quality standard, and to ensure this our production runs are sampled every 60 minutes.

We undertake regular laboratory burn tests to ensure a minimum calorific value of 17.3 GJ/tonne and our pellets have an exceptionally low ash content (typically < 0.2%), which translates into low boiler maintenance and fuelling costs.

Our attention to detail by our production team has earned Land Energy its reputation as a premium pellet producer.
