Pellet Trading

Pellet exchange would allow wood pellet manufacturers to insure against unpredictable price changes, and consumers to better hedge against changing costs. APX-ENDEX and Port of Rotterdam are proposing to introduce a wood pellet exchange, which should be operational by the fourth quarter of 2011.

Cleaning up Coal Power

A glimmer of hope has appeared for co-firing wood pellets at Canadian coal plants, as the Canadian Clean Power Coalition has a hard look at the option.

Danish Renewable Energy

Denmark is working towards zero fossil fuel use, and the use of biomass, particularly imported wood pellets, is a major part of that strategy. WPAC droped in on several large utilities.

Korea offers vast pellet market

The Korean market offers huge potential for bulk wood pellet producers on the west coast, as the country looks increasingly to renewable energy - and it uses a ton of energy for a country this size.

Pellet Hub

The European pellet market is huge, and someone has to keep track of all that product. WPAC member European Bulk Services of Rotterdam is part of that solution.

The Pellet Advantage

Efficient and Plentiful Production

Wood Pellet Association of Canada members are world leaders in the design and operation of modern pellet plants.

Innovating our way to a safer, better product

Wood pellets are a safe, reliable modern fuel. But they are still a fuel, requiring care in producing, shipping and storing.

Renewable and sustainable? Energy really can grow on trees.

There is no single energy source capable of solving our dependence on fossil fuels. Instead we need to look to a mix of new fuels, including wood pellets.
