About Us

Our Mission

To transform New Zealand's underutilized forest residues including slash and low grade logs into a valuable, renewable energy resource, achieving 1 million tons of annual wood pellet production capacity by 2030.

NATIONAL DECARBONIZATION

Providing a renewable, drop in fuel alternative to fossil fuels. White wood pellets are suited for retrofitting natural gas and coal boilers, enabling energy intensive sectors to cut emissions faster.

BUILDING A BRIDGE TO DOMESTIC VIABILITY

Leveraging short term export demand to establish a strong commercial foundation, ensuring financial viability for early investors while securing the local supply chain.

SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT

Transforming slash and low grade logs which often decompose and emit greenhouse gases into valuable energy products. This reduces environmental risks like erosion and runoff while encouraging healthier forests.

REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Creating opportunities across the value chain, including job creation in construction, operations, and transport logistics. This strengthens rural economies and increases forest land value.

About Us

Oceania Wood Pellets Ltd. (OWP) was founded in 2025 and is headquartered in New Zealand. The company is led by European experts who possess decades of industry experience in wood pellet production and sustainable energy.

OWP specializes in developing large scale, world class wood pellet plants, focusing exclusively on producing "white" (non torrefied) wood pellets. These pellets are primarily focused on addressing New Zealand's domestic process heat needs.

We address the challenge of unmanaged forest residues (slash and low grade logs) by driving investment in commercially viable, market driven pellet production facilities.

OWP targets regions where residue management is a pressing social and political issue and where efficient plant siting is possible to lower transport distances.

Our Strategy

1 Million Tons

OWP is committed to building 1 million tons of annual pellet production capacity by 2030 through a focused, actionable strategy:

Leveraging Regulatory Momentum

Aligning with New Zealand's climate and forestry policies, we provide a scalable solution to persistent supply chain challenges in the forestry sector.

First-Mover Advantage

As one of New Zealand's earliest large-scale pellet developers, OWP is well-positioned to meet surging domestic demand and capture early market share.

Comprehensive Slash Management

We partner with forest owners to create a platform for removing, monetizing, and utilizing forestry slash and bin wood, while offering market alternatives for low grade logs turning environmental challenges into economic opportunity.

Collaborating with Local Partners

Working closely with Māori trusts and regional investment entities, we co-invest in infrastructure projects that stimulate regional economies and create long-term jobs.

Building a Reliable Supply Chain

By leading development, commissioning, operations, training, and marketing, OWP establishes a robust, large-scale pellet supply chain that gives major industrial buyers confidence to convert from fossil fuels.

Building New Zealand's Clean Energy Future

Through strategic partnerships, technical excellence, and a commitment to sustainability, OWP is establishing the foundation for New Zealand's transition to renewable process heat creating jobs, supporting regional development, and driving decarbonization across key industrial sectors.
