Sustainability

At Ayo Biomass, we believe in sustainable growth

Headquartered in Gia Lai Province, Vietnam, our company invests in and operates 2 wood pellet plants in the Central Highlands and South-Central regions of Vietnam. We are committed to producing sustainable, renewable wood pellets that contribute to the global transition toward clean energy.

Approximately 20% of our feedstock is sourced from sawmill residues and other wood-processing by-products such as sawdust, off-cuts, chips, and shavings. The remaining portion comes from responsibly managed forests, including thinning materials, clear-cutting wood logs, tree tops, and harvesting residuals.

We are strongly committed to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with pellet production. This includes optimizing plant operations, upgrading equipment to increase energy efficiency, and adopting best practices for logistics. Depending on the distance to port, we utilize suitable trucks for inland transportation, and our exports are shipped on large-capacity vessels to minimize carbon intensity.
