HOUSTON, April 11, 2000 /PRNewswire/ -- Houston-based WoodFuel.com announced today that it has launched an innovative business-to-business online community that links suppliers and buyers of wood fuel products.

"WoodFuel.com is a virtual pipeline of wood fuel products," explains Scott Mactier, partner. "We have harnessed the Internet to streamline a very fragmented market, thus making the supply chain more efficient for both the buyers and suppliers of this important renewable energy source."

The WoodFuel.com community:

-- Locates local supplies of raw wood material,

-- Identifies and partners with quality wood processors that manufacture high quality material,

-- Aggregates a wood fuel product with high BTUs, low moisture content and low contaminant levels,

-- Markets the resultant product in two grades, under the WoodFuel name,

-- Forms alliances with transportation companies to deliver WoodFuel to customers, and

-- Streamlines the purchasing process with Internet technology.

"Additionally, the WoodFuel.com community provides suppliers and buyers with access to equipment financing, industry news and promotes the efficient use of wood fuel products," adds Mactier.

With the increase in fossil fuel costs and federal legislation requiring companies to utilize a larger percentage of renewable energy sources in energy production, WoodFuel.com is strategically poised to become a significant B2B exchange in this rapidly growing segment of the energy industry.
