Did you know that New Zealand is on track to phase out industrial coal boilers by 2037? With a current coal consumption of around two million tonnes per year for industrial processes, electricity generation, and commercial heating, the need for sustainable alternatives has never been greater!

By substituting coal with our black wood pellets as fuel, we can:

• Eliminate Coal Consumption: Transition away from carbon-intensive and finite coal.
• Reduce Carbon Emissions Dramatically: Make a significant impact by slashing carbon emissions by over 90%!

Petrochemicals, omnipresent in countless products, from everyday items like plastics and shampoos to industrial applications, have a substantial environmental footprint. Accounting for over 10% of global fossil fuel consumption and emitting an estimated 3.3 gigatons of greenhouse gases annually, the chemical sector’s environmental impact cannot be ignored.

To counter this, a shift towards bio-based chemicals and fuels is imperative for a sustainable, net-zero future.

• Sourced from FSC Forests: We only use sustainable renewable FSC certified plantation forests that are farmed on a 30 year cycle. This means for every tree that we use, another one is planted.
• Circular Manufacturing: Our waste products are water and spent wood. The water goes into irrigating our farm and the waste wood can go into making wood pellets that replace coal in heating and power generation plants.
• No Waste We use parts of the tree, such as stumps which would normally be considered a waste product/low value wood. Stump harvesting improves the productivity of the land as it encourages reforestation.
• No petrochemical: For every 1kg of product we produce, that’s 1kg of petroleum products that doesn’t get pumped out of the ground. Our products directly replace petrochemical sources products in the marketplace.
• Natural Manufacturing: We extract pine chemicals using low heat, low pressure, water, steam and a natural organic solvent. We don’t use any petrochemicals in the extraction process resulting in clean pine rosin and terpenes.
• Carbon Footprint: To further reduce the carbon footprint associated with the supply chain, our facilities are located in areas that minimize the transportation from forest to plant to port. We operate in the most attractive wood fiber regions.
