Quality Guaranteed

Contract ready Accredited NZ wood pellet

Our wood pellets are manufactured to international industrial standards and independently assessed every year. If you need a fuel specification you can put in writing, ours is already there. Contractable, Guaranteed.

IWPB Industrial I2 Specification

The IWPB I2 specification is the global benchmark for large-scale industrial pellet buyers. Our pellets meet it across every parameter that affects real-world boiler performance: calorific value, moisture content, ash constituents content, mechanical durability, and particle size. If your plant runs a pellet boiler, this is the spec your operations team will want to see.

DINplus A1 Certification

Our wood pellets carry the DINplus class A1 certification, Europe's leading standard for premium pellet quality. DINplus involves independent sampling and on-site audit visits, and is internationally recognized as a specification reference in commercial supply contracts. This is the certification that matters most to demanding international buyers.

DIN

New Zealand industry standard third party audit

Every year, we're independently assessed by the Bioenergy Association of New Zealand under their Wood Fuel Supply Accreditation Scheme. This is not a self-declared standard. It's a third-party audit confirming we consistently deliver the product specification we promise. Learn More

International Manufacturing Standards

We purpose built a facility in Taupō that goes further than just the basics. We built a world class facility designed to stand the test of time and consistently produce quality wood pellets, delivering a reliable heat and steam source for your plant.

Our pellets are held together by natural lignin, released under high-pressure extrusion. No glues. No additives. No chemicals that compromise your boiler warranty or your organic certification, just 100% wood fibre with proven Kiwi knack. We also dry our wood fibre using geothermal energy, making our pellets among the lowest embedded carbon fuel products in the world. That’s not a marketing claim. It’s a manufacturing fact.

Sustainability Certifications

BioGro Certified

Our wood pellets and combustion ash are certified as an organic input by BioGro New Zealand. The ash produced by burning our pellets is certified safe, non-GMO, and free from prohibited synthetic chemicals, so organic producers can use it without risking their certification.

The ash is rich in potassium and can be applied directly to agricultural land as a soil amendment or fertiliser. It’s a resource, not a disposal problem.

FSC® Certified

All our wood pellets are made from timber sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) accredited plantations. FSC® is a globally recognised, independent system ensuring forest products come from responsibly managed forests, covering environmental, social, and economic standards including protections against child labour and exploitative practices.

We hold FSC® Chain of Custody Certification, providing a verified, audited trail from tree to pellet. This gives buyers confidence our pellets aren’t contributing to deforestation. Our product is a true forestry residue, supporting New Zealand’s local forestry industry and keeping these materials out of landfill.

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.
