Wood Pellet Price per Ton: What Buyers Should Compare
Buyers often search for a single wood pellet price per ton. Useful quotes depend on specification, volume, packaging, logistics and commercial basis. This guide explains what to compare. It does not publish a current market price.
Why there is no single public price per ton
Pellets with different moisture, ash, diameter or fines are not the same product for a boiler. A lower headline price can cost more in useful heat if the fuel does not match the plant.
Volume and packaging move the number. Bagged lots, big bags and bulk have different handling costs. Destination changes delivered cost even when ex-works talks look similar.
Treat any online average price as orientation only. Ask for a quote against your written specification.
Specification and volume drivers
Moisture and ash affect combustion and commercial discussion. Compare calorific value on a stated basis and unit. Diameter and fines matter for feeding systems.
State monthly or shipment volume early. Trial lots and ongoing supply are planned differently.
If documents must accompany the shipment, name them so the discussion stays practical.
Ex-works, delivered, FOB and CIF: compare the basis
Quotes are easier to compare when the basis is explicit. Ex-works focuses on the product at origin. Delivered, FOB or CIF discussions add logistics and risk allocation differently.
PT Energi Jaya Integra discusses commercial terms case by case. This article explains quote bases; it does not claim every Incoterm is offered on every inquiry.
When comparing two quotes, check whether freight, insurance, taxes and local charges are included.
Logistics, taxes and useful heat cost
Freight and destination charges can outweigh small fuel-line differences. Ask how those items are treated.
A practical comparison converts offers into cost per unit of useful heat for your boiler using your own efficiency assumptions. That is not a universal savings claim.
Dry storage and handling equipment also belong in total cost of ownership.
