Wood Pellet Manufacturers and Pellets

As many wood pellet manufactures, New England Wood Pellet focus purely on the premium end of the pellet fuel market. This is not surprising, as this is where the majority of pellet consumers are also focused. New England Wood Pellet has also seen the growth and potential of the wood pellet fuel market, however growth and expansion cannot purely be based on the premium end of the market, for the simple reasons there isn't enough resources to produce enough premium grade pellets. Also, due to this limited resources premium pellet prices and supply can easily fluctuate. Within recent years we have already seen examples of this. When the economic recession started, house prices were one of the areas first effected. Demand for housing also practically stopped, as mortgages were very limited and refused to many people who previously would have been accepted. This meant housing demand was down to very low levels, and thus new housing construction project also stopped. One of the biggest customers of the timber industry is the construction market. If no homes are been built, no timber is been purchased. If no timber is processed, you don't have any sawdust. Therefore the supply of raw material which much of the premium pellet produces relied on suddenly dried up, and became very expensive. This therefore made it very difficult to meet the demand for premium grade pellet fuels, as New England Wood Pellet and many other pellet manufactures experienced. The reason this type of sawdust is used from premium grade pellets, is it contains no bark, and can therefore produce low ash.

Premium Pellets and Other Pellet Fuels

As shown, the pellet fuel market cannot put all their eggs in one basket with premium grade fuels, and need to diversify. Many other grades of wood, even from local wood land operations can be used to produce pellet fuel. These pellets may produce a slightly higher ash content, but the supply is more reliable and this creates more stable pellet prices.
