How We Transition Your Plant to Wood Pellets

Assess & Model

Most businesses we talk to already know they need to move away from coal or gas. What stops them is not knowing where to start, or whether it’ll actually work at their scale. We are experienced through this with a number of both large and small operations across New Zealand. The path is well worn. Here’s what it looks like.

Advise & Support

First, we help you find out if wood pellets actually make sense for your site. We’ll look at your current fuel use, model what a supply contract would cost, and run the numbers on ROI, so you’ve got something real to take to your board. No commitment, no pressure.

Install & Integrate

If the numbers stack up, we’ll help you work out the best way to structure it. We can connect you with equipment partners, and if capital is the sticking point, our Energy as a Service option (EaaS) allows you to upgrade your energy systems without upfront costs, you pay for the heat as you use it. You choose the path that fits your business.

Operate & Optimise

When it’s time to convert, we bring two decades of site experience to the table. We know what good storage and handling looks like, what questions to ask equipment suppliers, and where conversions tend to go wrong. Together with your team, we work to deliver successful conversion results.

FAQ

Questions & Answers

Is there enough pellet supply in New Zealand?admin2026-04-28T00:16:30+00:00

Is there enough pellet supply in New Zealand?

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.

How does pellet pricing compare long term to alternatives?admin2026-05-08T03:19:33+00:00

How does pellet pricing compare long term to alternatives?

Wood pellet pricing is more stable than gas over the long term, and can offer greater certainty on a longer-term basis.
Pellets are produced locally from forestry residues, and are not reliant on convoluted global supply chains.
At Nature’s Flame, geothermal steam is used for drying, which helps reduce exposure to climate risks as well as global energy market volatility.
Long-term supply agreements can also provide greater price certainty for businesses planning their energy costs.

How secure is fibre supply?admin2026-05-08T03:21:15+00:00

How secure is fibre supply?

Very secure. Wood pellets are made from locally sourced forestry residues, including sawdust and shavings, as well as lower-grade forestry arisings generated every day by New Zealand’s timber and forestry industry. That steady by-product stream, backed by the scale of NZ forestry, provides a reliable long-term feedstock for pellet production. This is particularly so for Nature’s Flame, located in the Central North Island alongside a long-term, integrated and sustainable forestry sector. By utilising these arisings, we support the ongoing viability of the forestry sector to produce higher-grade products for local demand, such as verified structural lumber, as well as higher-value export markets, such as clear wood to the USA and Europe.

What infrastructure is required onsite?admin2026-05-08T03:22:21+00:00

What infrastructure is required onsite?

A wood pellet boiler system consists of three main components: the biomass boiler itself, a storage silo, and an automatic fuel delivery system. Pellets are delivered by truck directly into the silo, helping minimise manual handling. Most systems are designed to integrate smoothly with existing heating infrastructure.
