What is a wood pellet plant?

A wood pellet plant is a factory, in which timber (residues) are transformed into a fuel, called wood pellets. Wood pellets are dried and compressed into short sticks. Wood pellets are considered carbon neutral as the tree sucks up the same amount of carbon as the pellets emit, when burnt. Wood pellets replace coal in power plants and gas or heating oil in residential central heating installations or stoves.
A typical plant produces 100,000 mt/yr, requires 10 - 20 mln EUR investment, 30 - 60 employees and runs 24/7. Plants are generally located near the source of raw material, i.e. the forest.
