The natural pine wood residues used to make Nature’s Flame pellet fuel is sourced from New Zealand’s long-established plantation forestry resource. No native forestry or timber is used to make Nature’s Flame pellets. Our wood pellets are made at factories in Taupo and Rotorua.
The Taupo facility, opened in March 2010, has annual production capacity of 40,000 tonnes a year. Depending on demand growth, Nature’s Flame has plans to expand the Taupo plant up to 300,000 tonnes a year over the next three to four years.
A new export for New Zealand:
Clean-burning wood pellet fuel, with its low carbon footprint, is in increasing demand from electricity producers to help them reduce emissions and much of the Taupo plant’s output is likely to be exported. The plant’s first export shipment, destined for European utilities, was made in March 2010. Nature's Flame wood pellets are also being exported to Italy for the home-heating market and to Japan, for use by electricity generators and by the horticulture sector to heat glasshouses.
