What Is Hazelnut Shell? & The Supply Process
Thanks to Türkiye's leadership in world hazelnut production, Hazelnut Shell is the most abundant solid biomass fuel with the most consistent supply and the most developed logistics network. From the moment it leaves the cracking facilities, its low moisture content makes it ready for direct combustion.
Its high and stable higher heating value (HHV) and low ash content have made it the unchanging main fuel of hundreds of greenhouses, bread ovens, lime/brick factories and power plants.
It is also used in the livestock sector as a moisture/odour-absorbing bedding on poultry-house and barn floors, and in landscaping as a decorative mulch that suppresses weed growth. Akyel Kayısı offers regular year-round hazelnut shell supply across Türkiye.

Hazelnut Shell — Fuel Information and Supply
Hard shell fuels are sourced from contracted cracking facilities in naturally broken form and shipped on a tonnage basis; sieving, sizing, or hand selection is not applied in this group. You can review the fuel value and supply information below:
In hard shell fuels, size/calibre is secondary; what matters is calorific value, low ash, and low moisture. The common typical reference range in biomass literature is approximately 4,420–4,590 kcal/kg; it varies by lot, moisture, and source, and is not a value measured or guaranteed by our company.
