Quick answer
Hazelnut shell serves two jobs: a high-calorie solid fuel that is an alternative to coal, and — because it contains no sand (silica) — a safe blasting material. Being abundant in Türkiye, it is supplied steadily year-round.
What is it?
Hazelnut shell is a hard by-product left after the kernel is separated at facilities in the Black Sea region. Because Türkiye supplies a large share of world hazelnut production, the source is abundant; supply can be planned and uninterrupted, independent of season. Two strong uses stand out: a clean-burning solid biofuel that is an alternative to coal in boilers and power plants, and a natural blasting abrasive that cleans metal without scratching it across a wide range from shipyards to heavy industry. In whole, cracked or ground form; calibre and moisture vary by intended use, and batches are available accordingly.
Applications
Biomass Solid Fuel
Used as an alternative to coal in boilers, stoves and power plants; at low moisture it gives strong, stable heat.
Industrial Blasting
Containing no silica, it carries no silicosis risk; it cleans shipyard, hull and soft-metal surfaces without deforming them.
Activated-Carbon Production
With its high carbon content, it is a valuable raw-material source in activated-carbon manufacturing.
Animal Bedding & Filler
Its ground form is used on farms as animal bedding and filler material; it is not a ration (feed) component.
Landscaping & Garden Mulch
Its cracked form is also used as a natural mulch in garden landscaping.

How to Choose?
For fuel, what matters is calorific value and moisture; if you'd like exact figures, typical reference ranges are shared on request; an exact per-batch guarantee is not offered. For blasting, grain size matters; coarse or finely ground batches are available — tell us what you need and we'll help you select the right one. On serious-volume or export orders, a sample evaluation can come up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is hazelnut shell preferred for blasting?
Because it contains no silica it carries no silicosis risk and cleans soft metals without deforming them; in many industrial blasting jobs it is a safe, natural abrasive.
Do you share calorific value and moisture?
On request, we share typical reference ranges; an exact per-batch guarantee is not offered. Because the values change with the source and drying, we clarify them together with a sample.
Do you send samples?
For serious, high-volume export and domestic requests, a sample is provided; the final shipment is sourced as close as possible to the approved sample's properties.
How is the order quantity set?
Domestic deliveries are planned by the truck and export deliveries by the container; the exact quantity is settled according to the request and stock.
How do payment and delivery terms work for export?
Agreed on standard Incoterms such as FOB/CIF; payment terms are settled before the order.
Do the color and form of hazelnut shell vary from batch to batch?
There may be natural variation depending on the source and harvest season; this does not affect quality or performance, and a comparison via sample is made on request.
