HOUSTON, June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- WoodFuel.com announced today that it has
entered into purchase agreements with three woodfuel suppliers in Texas. It
is estimated that these agreements will provide an additional 200,000 tons of
woodfuel capacity per year for WoodFuel.com.
``These agreements are significant for our company by adding both diversity
and capacity to our existing supply sources, ensuring that WoodFuel.com will
meet the growing demand for its woodfuel products,'' said Scott Mactier, WoodFuel.com
partner. ``This additional supply will add an estimated 40% to WoodFuel.com's
woodfuel supply stream.''
In April of this year, WoodFuel.com announced it had entered into a woodfuel
supply agreement with NOVUS Wood Group. That agreement alone will provide more
than 500,000 tons of woodfuel product per year. When accounting for all existing
sources of supply under contract, it is estimated that WoodFuel.com has an annual
woodfuel supply capacity of 750,000 tons.
Mactier continued to state that, ``woodfuel is also characterized as alternative
energy (measured in mmbtus) or biomass. One ton of high quality, low moisture
woodfuel equates to approximately 14 mmbtus. The energy content of WoodFuel.com's
current annual woodfuel capacity exceeds 10 million mmbtus.''
Mactier summarized, ``We're seeing a tremendous growth in the demand for woodfuel
as an alternative energy source. We believe this growth in demand will continue
based on two factors: 1) the increase in the price of fossil fuels; and 2) new
legislation, including, the implementation of the Texas legislative -- Senate
Bill 7 and similar bills in other states which mandate the usage of alternative
energy/biomass. As the growth in demand continues, WoodFuel.com is committed
to establishing a greater number of woodfuel supply agreements in order to properly
service and meet our customers requirements.''
