What Garzón Green Energy does

Garzón Green Energy (legal entity: Comercial de Combustibles y Materiales, S.L.) is a family-owned Spanish biomass fuel producer and distributor headquartered in Bailén, Jaén, in Andalusia's principal olive-growing region. Founded in 2002 and operated across two generations of the Garzón family, the company sources, processes, and distributes certified agricultural biomass fuels—primarily olive pit (hueso de aceituna), wood pellets, and almond shell—sourced directly from regional cooperatives. It was the first European company to obtain UNE 164003:2014 Class A1 certification for olive pit biomass (Certificate No. 10042-E), and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ENplus A1 certifications, with batch-level laboratory traceability per delivery.

The company's product portfolio centers on three certified flagship lines (Olive Pit A1, ENplus A1 wood pellets, and calibrated almond shell) supported by an extended catalog of agricultural byproducts including orujillo (dry olive pomace), extracted grape seed, pistachio shell, and peach stone. Distribution follows a direct B2B model: full truckloads of 24-28 tonnes serve industrial consumers with annual consumption above 100-200 tonnes, while 15kg bags and 1,000kg big bags address domestic and small commercial users. Pricing is quote-based, volume-tiered, with multi-year contracts for large consumers. Geographic reach covers all major Spanish biomass-consuming regions plus Portugal, France, and Italy.

The company primarily serves industrial energy consumers—olive oil mills (almazaras), agricultural drying facilities (secaderos), ceramics manufacturers, agro-industrial processors, and cogeneration plants running medium-to-high-power biomass boilers—with secondary segments in domestic heating and biomass distributors. Revenue is generated through transactional product sales, with no public disclosure of revenue, no external investors, and leadership concentrated in three Garzón family members (Rubén Garzón Guerrero as CEO/CFO; Jose Felipe Garzón on Logistics and Operations; Juan Jesús Garzón on Sales).
