The wood chip pellet mill is constructed from wood chips, straw, bagasse, rice bran and other agricultural and forestry wastes through a series of processes, including crushing, mixing, extruding and more. Unlike traditional fossil fuels, it produces less greenhouse gases when burned.

The Wood Pellet Association of Canada (WPAC) has been invited to host a session at the European Pellet Conference in March 2024 in Wels, Austria. The event will feature leading international speakers presenting the latest global market trends, policies, technologies and innovations. This provides an important avenue for Canadian pellet producers and associations to keep the pellet and bio-energy world moving forward.
