New website speaks to wood pellets’ strengths

Forestry Innovation Investment Ltd., a crown corporation of the government of British Columbia, recently gave its website “naturally:wood” a new look and for the first time ever it also now features wood pellets.

According to the website, wood pellets are recognized by scientists and global agencies as a biofuel that offers climate benefits as compared to fossil fuels.

By making wood pellets from fibre that was once burned or left behind, the wood pellet sector is reducing waste and turning that debris into valuable, low carbon biofuel.

B.C.’s forests are some of the most resilient and sustainably managed in the world — subject to stringent environmental regulation, careful management and extensive third-party certification.
