Solid Energy business Nature's Flame has loaded its second bulk shipment of wood pellet fuel to be used by European utilities.

The 17,000-tonne shipment, loaded at Napier, was part of an initial three-year $15 million supply agreement. A first shipment of 6700 tonnes went in March, Solid Energy said today.

Nature's Flame was also continuing to develop its presence in Europe's home-heating market, with a further 3000-tonne consignment of retail-ready bagged pellets being shipped in containers during the next four months.

In March, Nature's Flame formally opened this country's largest wood pellet fuel plant. The $34 million Taupo plant can produce up to 40,000 tonnes a year of the fuel, and planning is now under way to expand that to 90,000 tonnes. Nature's Flame also has pellet plants in Rotorua and at Rolleston, near Christchurch.
