In addition to wooden biomass, pellets are one of the main renewable sources of energy used for heating. The interest to use this energy source for heating is growing in Slovenia as well. This is why pellet production can be a good business opportunity for all, who are considering starting or expanding a business in Slovenia.
Pellet production – growing interests for pellets in Slovenia
According to the information to the European Statistical Bureau (Eurostat), the European Union imports most of the pellets from abroad. This is true also for Slovenia despite the increase in domestic pellet production. We import most of the pellets from Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Austria.
Most of Slovenian households still use firewood as a heating source. But the number did decrease in the last years due to raising awareness about energy consumption. Which is why it is not surprising that a fifth of the households think about the transition to a different heating source.
Pellets are environmentally friendly as well as a cheap energy source for heating. They can be used in households as well as in medium-sized and large companies. Handling them is easy, also transport and storage are hassle-free.
The advantage of pellets is also the simple usage in modern furnaces, where you can use them as complementary heating source. If you are thinking of a business idea for Slovenia, pellet production would be a good choice.
Pellet production as a good business opportunity
Establishing a company, where pellet production is a business activity, might be a good business opportunity for you in Slovenia. The first step would be to register a company in Slovenia. You would have to register the business activity under the SKD code 16.290 – Production of other wood, cork, straw, and wicker products. This business activity falls under craft business activities. In order to carry out pellet production as a business activity, the entrepreneur would have to obtain a craft license. Obtaining this license requires a specific education from the field.
If you plan on selling pellets as well, you would also have to register the business activity under the SKD code 46.710 (Wholesale of hard, liquid and gas fuels). If you also plan on importing pellets, you would have to register the business activities under the SKD code 46.120 (Brokerage with selling fuels, ores, metals, technical chemicals).
