Plantation Energy will locate the pellet manufacturing facility within a designated timber precinct just outside of the port of Albany, Western Australia.  Within the same precinct there are existing major woodchip operations, and plans exist to establish a biomass power station and other timber processing industries.  As well as the manufacturing facility, Plantation Energy will establish a storage and export depot within the harbour infrastructure at Albany. 

Plantation Energy is working closely with plantation owners and harvesting contractors to develop efficient and environmentally sensitive procedures for collecting the residues and bringing them to the manufacturing facility. Densification of biomass fuels involves drying, size reduction and the formation of fuel pellets under high pressure using a pellet mill.  Proven technology for pellet manufacturing currently exists in Europe and North America, and we are working with reputable equipment suppliers to develop efficient and reliable production facilities.
