ENplus has certified more than 1,000 companies as of June 2020. Today, ENplus includes 526 pellet producers, 471 traders and three services providers across 46 countries. The total production of certified pellets is over 12 million tonnes, accounting for about 77 per cent of the European heating market.
As of 2019, the biggest producer of ENplus- certified pellets continues to be Germany, with over 2.7 million tonnes. Austria ranked second again, followed by Russia, France, and Poland. Apart from France, all countries in the top five have increased their production compared to the previous year.
The certification is based on the ISO 17225-2 standard but goes well beyond it with additional requirements. Producers, traders, and service providers can get certified for three different quality classes, most of the production being ENplus A1, the scheme’s highest class.
To keep up with the scheme’s developments, ENplus organizes regular trainings for certified companies and partners. Certified companies are also required to have a proper management system in place, which includes self-monitoring activities.
