Juupajoki
Versowood is the largest privately-owned producer and supplier of sawn timber goods in Finland. We operate in 14 locations in Finland and in one location in Estonia.
We have three pellet factories, one of which is located in Juupajoki. The other two are in Vierumäki and Turenki. Our total annual production is close to 100,000 tonnes. We make the most of the wood raw material we use and produce high-quality wood pellets from the sawdust generated in sawmilling.
Compressed wood pellets provide clean and renewable energy and are easy to transport and use. Burning wood pellets releases the same amount of carbon dioxide as would be released if the wood decayed naturally. In addition, the combustion emissions of this bark-free and clean fuel are low.
A tonne of pellets has a high calorific value, about 4.8 MWh, equivalent to four cubic metres of logs or 450 litres of heating oil (source: https://www.biotalous.fi/puupelletit/). Read more about heating pellets.
