Wood Pellet
Wood pellets are clean, biofuels, and are renewable energy sources. Wood pellets are made by wood produced in forests or by-products from sawdust. They are grinded and are made into particular pellet sizes under high temperature and pressure. Wood pellets are types of bioenergy.

Carbon Emissions from Forest Biomass Energy

Wood is not regarded as a carbon-emitting energy source when burned because the carbon emissions are already accounted for when carbon is emitted into the atmosphere during the wood cutting process.
Furthermore, trees absorb the carbon in the air, which helps offset carbon emissions. (IPCC Guideline)

The UNFCCC and IPCC recognize wood as a carbon neutral fuel and recommend wood as a renewable energy to substitute fossil fuel.

Forest biomass fuel is eco-friendly renewable energy that can substitute fossil fuel because it has little effect on climate change and it is a carbon neutral energy.

Fossil fuels increase carbon emissions due to the release of carbon dioxide when burned.

Unused forest biomass

  • By-products, not used for raw timbers, produced by tree renewal and timber harvesting
  • Forest by-products in the process of forest development that are not used for raw timber production
  • Products from forest gardening
  • Deforestation stocks produced during the control process, such as removing pest-damaged trees
  • Wood products from the process of cutting and pruning for the management of street trees
  • Trees, dead or damaged as a result of fire, wind, flood, snow press, etc., that are not used for raw timber production
