Wood Pellet/Torrefied Wood Pellet

Features

As a carbon neutral fuel, wood pellets do not affect emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. Wood pellets are derived from thinned lumbers, wood wastes and sawdust generated from sawmills, however the originating trees absorb CO2 during their growth cycle, offsetting the CO2 emitted when they are burned. Overall, they have a zero effect on atmospheric CO2 levels. Iwatani works with multiple leading suppliers who operate stable production and quality control systems and offer enough supply capabilities to ensure a stable long-term supply of high quality wood pellets.

Certification

Iwatani offers wood pellets with forest certification. We are also a certified supplier of woody biomass used for power generation, a requirement for supplying to biomass power plants in Japan.

Miscellaneous

Iwatani also handles a broad range of other products, including the silica sand feeded to power generation boilers to assist combustion of biomass fuel. Iwatani is working on the commercial development of torrefied wood pellets*, a promising alternative to coal.
