Power Wood Energy’s steam-treated black pellets will possess greater bulk density, provide better fuel consistency and experience less degradation than other available biomass pellets.

Their compact composition, elevated energy content and consistent fuel profile mean our steam-treated black pellets will carry more energy per unit volume than white wood pellets.

Bound by lignin – plant life’s waterproofing polymer – they will also offer improved water resistance, allowing them to be transported and stored in open-air environments to cut costs associated with sealed vessels, covered bays and humidity-controlled storage silos.

Power Wood Energy will produce steam-treated black pellets from wildfire-damaged deadwood, beetle-infested trees and forestry industry residuals – so old growth trees can cleanse the atmosphere.

Long-term Crown forestry rights ensure our raw materials will be harvested from plains of standing and fallen fire-damaged boreal forest and other compromised forest woodland. This fixed-fee access to feedstock will help us to keep prices for our steam-treated black pellets stable for customers.

Power Wood Energy’s timber harvests from these burnt forest regions will also help to create fuel breaks to slow the progress of future wildfires and reduce the release of decomposition methane.

Power Wood Energy’s steam-treated pellets will be produced to help companies and industries to decarbonize their operations, and nations to meet their energy transition and climate targets.

The Hardgrove Grindability Index of our steam-treated black pellets will be similar to coal – supporting improved fuel consistency and power generation, while helping milling rooms to run smoothly.

The steam treatment process which will produce them leads to reduced degradation, reduced fines generation and reduced ash content for end-users who can keep suitable coal-fired energy infrastructure in operation for longer with a reduced carbon footprint.
