Solid biofuels - Fuel specifications and classes - Part 2: Wood pellets for non-industrial use
This European standard determines the fuel quality classes and specifications of wood pellets for non-industrial use. This European standard covers only wood pellets produced from the following raw materials (see EN 14961-1:2010, Table 1):
- 1.1 Forest, plantation and other virgin wood;
- 1.2 By-products and residues from wood processing industry;
- 1.3 Used wood.
NOTE 1 For the avoidance of doubt, demolition wood is not included in the scope of this European Standard.
Demolition wood is “used wood arising from demolition of buildings or civil engineering installations” (EN 14588:2010, 4.52).
NOTE 2 Torrefied pellets are not included in the scope of this European Standard. Torrefaction is a mild pre-treatment of biomass at a temperature between 200 °C to 300 °C.
Feste Biobrennstoffe - Brennstoffspezifikationen und -klassen - Teil 2: Holzpellets für nichtindustrielle Verwendung

Die Norm EN 14961-2:2011 definiert die Spezifikationen und Klassen von Holzpellets für den nicht-industriellen Gebrauch und stellt damit einen wichtigen Standard im Bereich der festen Biokraftstoffe dar. Der Anwendungsbereich dieser europäischen Norm ist klar umrissen und umfasst ausschließlich Holzpellets, die aus bestimmten Rohstoffen hergestellt werden, wie zum Beispiel aus jungfräulichem Holz, Nebenprodukten und Reststoffen der Holzverarbeitungsindustrie sowie aus verwendetem Holz. Dies sorgt dafür, dass die Qualität der Holzpellets, die für den nicht-industriellen Einsatz vorgesehen sind, angemessen geregelt wird und somit die Anforderungen an die Energieeffizienz und Umweltverträglichkeit gewährleistet werden. Ein wesentlicher Stärke der Norm ist die klare Abgrenzung zu anderen Materialien, insbesondere dem Abbruchholz, welches in diesem Standard nicht berücksichtigt wird. Diese Differenzierung ist von großer Bedeutung, da sie ermöglicht, dass nur qualitativ hochwertige und für die Verwendung geeignete Holzpellets reguliert werden, was den Verbrauchern und Anbietern Sicherheit und Vertrauen bietet. Darüber hinaus schließt die Norm torrefizierte Pellets aus, was die Fokussierung auf die spezifischen Eigenschaften und Anforderungen von konventionellen Holzpellets stärkt. Diese Festlegung unterstützt die Konsistenz und Standardisierung der Produktqualität im Markt und fördert die Nachhaltigkeit im Energiebereich. Insgesamt ist die EN 14961-2:2011 eine relevante und nützliche Norm, die sowohl der Industrie als auch den Endverbrauchern hilft, qualitativ hochwertige Holzpellets zu identifizieren und zu nutzen. Die klare Definition der Rohstoffe und die Festlegung von Spezifikationen tragen entscheidend zur Entwicklung eines zuverlässigen Marktes für feste Biokraftstoffe bei.
La norme EN 14961-2:2011 représente un document fondamental concernant les biocarburants solides, spécifiquement les granulés de bois destinés à un usage non industriel. Elle établit des classes de qualité de combustible et des spécifications essentielles pour l'utilisation de granulés de bois, garantissant ainsi une uniformité et une confiance dans le produit final. Le champ d'application de cette norme se concentre exclusivement sur deux types de matières premières : le bois vierge provenant de forêts ou de plantations, ainsi que les sous-produits et résidus de l'industrie du bois. Cette approche garantit que seules les sources de matière première respectant des critères de durabilité et de qualité sont prises en compte, ce qui renforce la crédibilité du secteur des granulés de bois. La force principale de la norme EN 14961-2:2011 réside dans sa capacité à exclure explicitement certains types de bois, telles que les bois de démolition et les granulés torrefiés, assurant ainsi que les granulés couverts par cette norme répondent à des critères rigoureux. En excluant les matériaux de moindre qualité, elle protège aussi bien les consommateurs que l'environnement, en favorisant l'utilisation de ressources renouvelables. En conclusion, la norme s'avère pertinente non seulement pour les producteurs de granulés de bois mais également pour les utilisateurs finaux, leur permettant d'avoir la certitude que le combustible utilisé est conforme aux spécifications établies. Ces directives claires et précises contribuent à l'efficacité et à la durabilité du marché des biocarburants solides.
EN 14961-2:2011 표준은 비산업용 목재 펠릿의 연료 품질 등급 및 사양을 정의하는 유럽 표준으로, 목재 펠릿의 품질을 기준으로 삼는 중요한 역할을 합니다. 이 표준은 1.1 항목에서 숲, 농장 및 기타 원시 목재를 비롯하여, 1.2 항목의 목재 가공 산업의 부산물 및 잔여물, 1.3 항목의 사용된 목재만을 포함하여 연료로 적합한 목재 펠릿의 사양을 상세히 규정하고 있습니다. 이 문서의 강점은 비산업용 목재 펠릿에 대한 명확한 기준을 제공한다는 점입니다. 이를 통해 사용자들은 펠릿의 품질을 평가하고, 연료 선택에 있어 보다 신뢰성 높은 정보를 바탕으로 결정을 내릴 수 있습니다. 또한, 이 표준은 비산업용 및 산업용 목재를 구분하고, 철거 목재나 밀도가 낮은 토레페이션된 펠릿과 같은 특정 소재를 범위에서 제외함으로써, 우선적으로 안전하고 지속 가능한 바이오 연료의 사용을 장려합니다. EN 14961-2:2011 표준은 지속 가능한 에너지 솔루션에 대한 수요가 증가하는 가운데, 비산업용 사용자 및 공급자에게 명확하고 실용적인 지침을 제공함으로써 중요한 역할을 합니다. 이러한 이유로 이 표준은 바이오 연료 산업에서의 신뢰성 및 일관성을 유지하는 데 매우 적절하며, 연료 품질 및 성능에 대한 기대를 충족시키는 데 필수적인 자료로 평가됩니다.
The EN 14961-2:2011 is a pivotal European standard that serves a distinct purpose in the realm of solid biofuels, specifically focusing on wood pellets intended for non-industrial use. Its scope is meticulously outlined, encompassing fuel quality classes and specifications exclusively for wood pellets derived from designated raw materials, which include forest wood, wood processing by-products, and used wood. This precise demarcation is crucial as it eliminates ambiguity regarding the inclusion of demolition wood and torrefied pellets, ensuring that the standard addresses only relevant and applicable materials. One of the strengths of this standard lies in its comprehensive framework for classification and specification, which provides a clear guideline for manufacturers and users alike. By standardizing the quality criteria for wood pellets, EN 14961-2:2011 fosters consistency in production, promotes market transparency, and aids in ensuring that users receive a product that meets their needs in terms of performance and environmental impact. Moreover, the relevance of this standard is underscored by the growing demand for renewable energy sources and a shift towards more sustainable heating solutions in the non-industrial sector. As a result, the EN 14961-2:2011 standard not only supports the development of a reliable market for wood pellets but also aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and advocate for the use of cleaner energy alternatives. In summary, the EN 14961-2:2011 standard provides a robust foundation for the wood pellet industry, ensuring that specifications are adhered to and that the chosen materials meet the necessary quality levels, thereby contributing to the overall sustainability and efficiency of biofuel usage in non-industrial applications.
SIST EN 14961-2:2011は、非工業用に使用される木ペレットの燃料品質クラスおよび仕様を定めた重要な欧州標準です。この標準は、森林、プランテーション、その他の未加工の木材、木材加工産業からの副産物や残留物、または使用済み木材から製造された木ペレットに限定されており、明確に範囲を設定している点が特に評価できます。 この標準の強みは、木ペレットの燃料仕様が厳密に定義されていることです。これにより、消費者や業界関係者は、木ペレットの品質を容易に判断することが可能になり、持続可能な資源利用を促進しています。また、標準には木くずが含まれていないことも明記されており、デモリッションウッドの誤解を避けるための注意事項が含まれています。この明確さは、製品の信頼性を高め、規制遵守を容易にします。 さらに、SIST EN 14961-2:2011は、環境に優しいエネルギー源としての木ペレットの利用促進に貢献しています。木ペレットは再生可能エネルギーの一環として位置付けられており、標準化が進むことで市場における透明性と競争力が向上します。 全体として、EN 14961-2:2011の規格は、木ペレットの品質向上を図り、環境に配慮したエネルギー戦略を後押しする重要な役割を果たしています。特に、非工業用の木ペレットに対する要求が高まる中、この標準はその基準を確立するための重要な指針となるでしょう。
