Yes. New Zealand has a growing and reliable supply of wood pellets, supported by its large forestry sector and increasing domestic production capacity. Wood pellets in New Zealand are produced from sawdust, shavings, and other lower value arisings generated by the timber and forestry industry. This means pellet fuel uses existing forestry by-products rather than requiring additional trees to be harvested.
The country’s plantation forestry sector produces significant volumes of these residues each year on a sustainable basis, creating a stable long-term feedstock for pellet manufacturing.
