Keriden Fuels

Keriden Fuels is a specialized production and distribution company serving the heating and cooking industries. Our products include charcoal, sleepers, biochar and reclaimed sleepers.

Our Namibian hardwood firewood and charcoal are produced by our partner production company in Namibia using sustainably harvested encroaching bush species. This responsible approach helps restore natural grazing land while producing dense, long-burning hardwood fuels. Alongside these products, we supply Baltic firewood species—predominantly birch and ash with some oak and hornbeam—all of which is Woodsure certified.

Southern African Firewood

The various Namibian invasive species of acacia like Kameeldoring (Camel Thorn), and Swarthaak (Black Thorn), not only produce the best available charcoal, but they also produce superb firewood for several reasons:
It is denser than ash, and even oak, which weighs an average of around 650kg per cubic meter, while Namibian acacia can weigh in at up to 1230kg per cubic meter. And those comparisons are with European hardwoods having four times as a higher water content!
Namibian firewood is dry at between 0 & 5% as opposed to the kiln dried European firewood of around 20%.

Charcoal/Biochar

>We are in partnership with our producer in Namibia, using invasive species as our raw materials. Our own label “Keriden Fuels” is packed with quality produced and sorted charcoal. Not only is our charcoal and biochar of superior quality, but is competitively priced, making it a winner in the industry.

Sleepers

Reclaimed sleepers offer a rustic, durable, and sustainable solution for landscaping and outdoor projects. Sourced from carefully selected, previously used timber, each sleeper carries its own character while helping reduce waste and demand for newly harvested wood. Perfect for garden borders, raised beds, retaining walls, and feature pathways, our reclaimed sleepers compbine strenth, longevity, and natural charm to enhance any outdoor space.
