Using the Effects of Climate Change to Address its Cause
Power Wood Canada Corp produces energy-dense, minimal carbon footprint black biofuel pellets as a drop in replacement for coal.Â
We manufacture them from the deadwood of Canadian wildfires, from diseased trees and from forestry residuals - to leave healthy woodland standing and preserve our planet’s forest carbon sinks.
Our forest-fringe, carbon-neutral steam explosion processes produce biofuel's best-in-class wood pellets – so power stations, mills and factories incur no costly upgrades or downtime to use them.
Power Wood’s advanced black pellets are proven to burn with 87 percent of coal's energy, but generating stations incur six percent of coal's carbon footprint to use them.Â

Full-Circle Green Thinking for a World Worth Inheriting
Power Wood Canada Corp puts our planet before every activity it undertakes. Its whole team shares a desire to protect, support and improve the biosphere, so it can nurture those who come after us.
Our carbon-neutral facilities are located beside plains of wildfire-burned forest in Northern Alberta. We work there with Indigenous communities so they share and prosper in the economies we generate.
The collaboration produces the world’s most tightly packed biofuel pellets – to maximize their energy payload and to mitigate their carbon footprint during transfer.
At the point of burning, every black pellet we produce consistenly has 87 percent of coal’s energy but just six percent of its carbon footprint.

On the Leading Edge of Energy Innovation and Biofuel Evolution
On the Leading Edge of Energy Innovation and Biofuel Evolution
Steam explosion black pellets are the latest evolution in clean-tech biofuel. They’re celebrated for their manifold upgrade on white and torrefied pellets as a replacement for coal.
Their regular profile, mechanical strength and superior density allows more energy to be transported, stored and consumed per volumetric unit.
Our next-gen black pellets don’t break down when wet. They are loaded with energy-rich lignin, making them durable and waterproof. Stockpiled outdoors in all weathers, they eliminate the need for dry silo storage.
With advanced grindability, they're pulverized for co-firing easily into homogenous coal-like granules that support precise burn control and energy production.

Power Wood’s Next-Gen Biofuel Pellets Have Many Benefits
Power Wood’s Next-Gen Biofuel Pellets Have Many Benefits
SUPERIOR ENERGY RELEASE
🌳
Power Wood Canada Corp produces black biofuel pellets which release up to 27% more energy in plant furnaces than preceding 1st generation white pellets.
LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT
🌳
Power Wood’s black biofuel pellets produce 94% less of a carbon footprint than coal, create minimal ash and release no unhealthy local particulates.
COMPACT BULK DENSITY
🌳
Our black pellets are an ultra-compact, energy-efficient product with 33% greater bulk density than white pellets and negligible moisture content.
VERSITILE CO-FIRE FUEL
🌳
Power Wood’s black pellets improve the burning efficiency of coal when the fuels are co-fired, while greatly reducing toxic emissions from industrial furnaces.
HYDROPHOBIC QUALITY
🌳
Our black pellets are highly durable and waterproof so need no weatherproof facilities – enabling easy and economic outdoor storage and movement.
NO COSTLY RETROFITS
🌳
Our black biofuel pellets are a direct drop in replacement for coal so power plants and steel mills needn’t incur costly upgrades or downtimes.
FLEXIBLE FUEL FORMAT
🌳
Power Wood Canada Corp’s offtake can be economically pelletized, briquetted or baled to suit the specific needs of each utility-scale energy producer.Â
EASY GRINDABILITY
🌳
Power Wood’s black pellets are the industry’s easiest to grind for co-firing, requiring less power to produce smaller particles in higher quantities.
CROWN RIGHTS FEEDSTOCK
🌳
Power Wood has 20-year forestry rights to five million hectares of Canadian boreal forest containing a 15 - 20 year supply of burned wildfire timber.
WASTE WOOD FEEDSTOCK
🌳
We make steam-treated pellets from only wildfire deadwood, diseased trees and forest floor debris. Healthy trees are left standing to help the planet.
FOREST MANAGEMENT
🌳
Power Wood clears land of waste woody material to reduce decomposition methane, remove wildfire fuel risks and promote boreal reforestation.
CARBON NEUTRAL PROCESS
🌳
Our production process is fuelled onsite with only wood chippings, forest floor residuals and black pellets – giving it a completely carbon neutral footprint.

Turning the Consequence of Climate Change into its Solution
Turning the Consequence of Climate Change into its Solution
All of Power Wood's advanced black pellets are made from only wildfire-damaged deadwood, beetle-diseased trees and forestry residuals. We leave healthy old-growth forest standing to draw down atmospheric carbons and cool our climate.
Our steam explosion plants are located on the edge of massive ranges of scorched dead aspen trees.Â
We have renewable Crown rights to clear deadwood feedstock from five million forest hectares. Our agreements with Indigenous councils to harvest burnt lumber from their traditional lands provide the foundation for much broader partnerships.
Extracting deadwood for advanced black pellets prevents the release of megatons of decomposition methane, and creates sizeable forest fuel breaks to foil the spread of future wildfires.Â
And through our New Ground Foundation, Power Wood reforests and renatures Canada’s boreal biome.
