Its role Owner
Graanul Invest is an Estonian renewable materials and bioenergy company and one of Europe’s largest producers of wood pellets. The group operates a vertically integrated model spanning sustainable forest management, wood procurement, pellet manufacturing, combined heat and power generation, and logistics across the Baltic region and other European locations. Its pellets serve industrial and residential markets seeking low‑carbon, biomass-based energy.
Beyond energy, Graanul Invest develops bio-based raw materials from woody biomass, investing in advanced biorefining to convert wood residues into feedstocks for biomaterials and biochemicals. The company emphasizes responsible sourcing and traceability through sustainability-certified supply chains and focuses on improving resource efficiency and the circular use of forest by-products.

SWEETWOODS project delivers high purity lignin and wood sugars, demonstrating sustainable hardwood biomass conversion. Initial tests show promising results for biomaterials and biochemicals production.
A review confirmed the project is on track. The first 18-month report was accepted. Construction is complete, and key equipment installation is nearly done, with commissioning pending COVID-19 restrictions.
The new plant will produce biomaterials from wood residues using innovative technology. Supported by EU funding, it aims for high efficiency and low environmental impact, with completion expected in 2020.
