Helping To Reduce Greenhouse Gasses

Eco Friendly Developments

Pathfinder supplies virgin ecologically sound sustainable fuel; In the form of locally sourced wood chip derived largely from wasted wood in South Wales; as a reliable low cost alternative to less environmentally friendly types of energy.

The company has been formed from a co-operative of local woodland owners, tree surgeons, forestry and sawmill operatives in Monmouthshire. It has established the supply chain to procure, process, dry, store and guarantee the supply of clean sustainable biomass woodchip fuel for Hot Water, Central Heating and Air Conditioning, boilers and Combined heat and Power plants (CHP).

The recycling of virgin waste and wasted timber provides an ecologically sound outlet for off cuts and arisings which are becoming increasingly difficult to dispose of now that burning and landfill has become more or less unacceptable. Furthermore, the use of waste timber, thinnings and forest residue will add value to the Better Wood for Wales (BWW) scheme for native woodland management and will enhance the local community's "green footprint". It will also create jobs and provide a sustainable alternative energy source to help reduce Wales's dependence on expensive imported fossil fuels and other wasteful and/or more expensive trendy alternatives.

Our goal is to help customers improve their "green credentials". Customers will be drawn from architectural practices, property developers, local authorities, housing associations, town and county councils, PFI and other companies any of which might be considering a district heating scheme, a woodchip fuelled boiler or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system. We want our customers to work with us to complete the virtuous circle (see pie chart on the about us page) of recycling waste wood and, at the same time, help raise the levels of corporate social responsibility in the area.
