Wood pellets are a type of biofuel made from compressed wood fibre. In British Columbia, these pellets are primarily produced from residuals left over from the sawmilling process. This includes waste material from harvested forests and low-quality logs. By using these materials, the wood pellet sector is reducing waste and creating a valuable, low carbon biofuel source. Wood pellets are an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels, and they play a crucial role in promoting sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
