In 2013, when Vyatsky Plywood Mill started to manufacture RUF fuel briquettes, we expanded our abilities in the “green” energy and heat production segment.

RUF fuel briquettes are a comparatively new fuel; they have lots of advantages compared to other fuel types. They do not contain any hazardous substances; they do not produce sparks when burning, and they leave minimum ash. They are twice as dense as regular firewood, and thus they yield much more heat when burning. They burn and smolder much longer than regular firewood.

COMPARISON OF RUF BRIQUETTES WITH OTHER FUEL TYPES

Heat capacity:

Wood briquettes ~4400 to 4500 kcal/kg
Black coal ~4900 kcal/kg
Brown coal ~3910 kcal/kg
Dry firewood (moisture content 25%) ~2160 kcal/kg (redwood), or ~2600 kcal/kg (birch)
Firewood with natural moisture content (40 to 50%) ~1500 kcal/kg.
Ash content:

Wood briquettes ~0.5 to 1% ash
Brown coal ~40% ash
Black coal ~20% ash
When burning, wood briquettes release 10 times less CO2 than natural gas; 30 times less CO2 than coke and 50 times less CO2 than coal.
RUF briquettes produced by Segezha Group are made of wood sawdust which contains no hazardous admixtures and substances. They are absolutely safe and environmentally-friendly.
