Our Production Facilities
Ayo Biomass produces 400,000 metric tons a year of industrial wood pellets across two plants in central Vietnam. Every tonne is traceable to residue from a timber industry that would exist whether or not we did.
A utility buying under EU or Japanese sustainability rules has to defend that distinction to its own regulator, so here is the split. Around 10% of our intake is sawmill and wood-processing by-product: sawdust, off-cuts, chips and shavings from the furniture and wood-chip factories our group operates. The remainder comes from responsibly managed plantation forests: thinnings, tops, harvesting residuals and the small-diameter acacia the sawlog and furniture trades will not take.
None of it is grown for fuel. Vietnam's plantation estate exists because furniture and wood chips pay for it, and pellets take the fraction those industries reject. The claim therefore holds up under audit, and it also means we are not bidding against those industries for fibre.
We also own and operate factories across those adjacent segments, so the chain from standing timber to loaded vessel is one we control rather than one we buy into.
Binh Dinh Plant
Location: Binh Dinh Province, Central Vietnam Capacity: 250,000 MT/year Operational Since: 2019 Port Access: Quy Nhon Port (12 km)
Our flagship facility in Binh Dinh Province is strategically positioned within Vietnam's largest acacia forestry region. The plant features:
- Modern pelletizing equipment with automated quality control
- On-site storage for 15,000+ MT of finished product
- Direct truck access to Quy Nhon deep-water port
- Real-time production monitoring via Koidra platform
Key Achievement: Loaded 25,500 MT onto a single vessel in 1.5 days, a record for Vietnamese pellet producers.
Dak Lak Plant
Location: Dak Lak Province, Central Highlands Capacity: 150,000 MT/year Operational Since: 2025 Raw Material: Acacia and rubber wood residues
Our Dak Lak facility expands our sourcing footprint into Vietnam's highland regions, accessing diverse biomass feedstocks:
- Acacia from certified sustainable forestry operations
- Advanced drying systems optimized for high-moisture feedstock
- Integrated quality laboratory for continuous testing
Product Specification
Produced to ENplus A1/A2 specification and to industrial grades. Every shipment carries a certificate of analysis.
Property | Specification | Test method |
Diameter | 6–8 mm | ISO 17829 |
Moisture, as received | ≤ 10% | ISO 18134 |
Ash, dry basis | ≤ 1.5% | ISO 18122 |
Net calorific value, as received | ≥ 4,200 kcal/kg | ISO 18125 |
Mechanical durability | ≥ 97.5% | ISO 17831-1 |
Trace elements and ash chemistry are tested per shipment and reported alongside the certificate of analysis. If your boiler has a tighter limit on chlorine, ash melting point or fines than the grades above, tell us the number and we will tell you whether we can hold it.
Logistics & Shipping
- Primary port: Quy Nhon International Port, 12 km from the Binh Dinh plant
- Vessels handled: Handymax to Panamax
- Loading rate: more than 10,000 MT per day sustained, with a record of 18,000 MT in a single day
- Annual export volume: 350,000+ MT
- Markets served: Europe, Japan and New Zealand
Twelve kilometres to a deep-water berth means fewer truck movements per tonne than producers hauling from the highlands to the coast. That shows up directly in delivered carbon intensity.
Questions buyers ask us
- Can you hold a tighter ash or chlorine limit than the published grade?
- What happens to quality when you scale up a contract?
- Do you trade third-party pellets under your certificates?
- How quickly can you quote?
Often, yes. We control our own feedstock mix. Send us the spec and we will answer against your number.
Both plants run on the same instrumented process, with moisture and durability measured inline rather than sampled at the end. Volume changes throughput, not the control loop.
No. We sell only what our own two plants produce.
