Wood pellets are a convenient, renewable alternative to gas, oil and electricity for heating, and to straw and shavings for animal bedding.Our wood pellets are 100% natural, with no binders, chemicals, or additives.
We manufacture our wood pellets from clean sawdust and wood chips: waste products from sawmills, joinery shops and other wood industries that would normally end up rotting in landfills. |
Wood pellets are usually made from compressed sawdust and wood shavings. However, they can be made from most biomass material (e.g. straw, forestry residues, specially grown energy crops etc.) and hence have the potential to be sourced from locally unused material, which can then give considerable benefit to the local economy.

Environmental Benefits of Wood Pellets: Wood pellets are carbon neutral, Switching from coal to natural gas reduces 50% of greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, Switching from coal to wood pellets reduces 100% of GHG emissions. The pellet industry enabled the closure of polluting bee-hive burners at sawmills. Wood Pellets in Europe
- The European Union has mandated GHG reduction by law.
- The EU has committed to a 20% GHG reduction from 1990 levels by 2020 and is using wood pellets as an important way to achieve this target.
- The EU mixes wood pellets with coal in thermal power plants as a way to reduce GHG. This mix, known as co-firing, can range from 5% to 100% wood pellets. Hence about 90% of wood pellets are exported to the EU.
