Westervelt Renewable Energy focuses on the utilization of renewable raw materials to provide value added products. Our primary interest is the conversion of southern yellow pine and wood-based raw materials that are byproducts of forestry or sawmill operations. Our vertical integration with the Westervelt Company provides access to a strategically located and sustainably managed company owned land base.
Current initiatives...
Biomass Power Generation - currently under construction, this biomass-based combined heat and power project will generate steam for lumber drying and the generation of green electric power. The project will utilize saw mill residuals and will be supplemented by fuel from in-woods chipping operations.
Wood Fuel Pellets - currently evaluating opportunities to supply wood fuel pellets to domestic and export markets. The company's strategically located land holdings and sustainable forestry practices makes this an attractive expansion opportunity.
Processed Biomass - evaluating opportunities to supply processed biomass for domestic and export commercial power generation markets.
