Celebrating Climate Action Week: A Sustainable Future with Balcas Energy

As #LondonClimateActionWeek comes to a close, we reflect on the impactful strides made towards a greener planet. At Balcas Energy, our dedication to sustainability is resolute. We’re proud to contribute to a low-carbon future through our innovative practices and carbon neutral wood pellets.

Our Climate Action In Focus

Carbon-Neutral Heating Solutions

We produce our carbon neutral wood pellets using 100% renewable energy from our biomass Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants. This ensures a carbon-neutral heating option for homes and businesses. Our wood pellets have an established supply chain and are a viable way of achieving defossilisation now.

Significant CO₂ Emission Reductions

In the past year alone, our customers have collectively saved over 300,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions by choosing our wood pellets over traditional imported fossil fuels.

Reforestation Initiatives

As part of our forestry activities we plant more trees are replanted than we harvest – right here in our local forests. This ensures a continuous, regenerative cycle that supports both the environment and our communities.

Sustainable Forestry Practices

At Balcas, sustainability isn’t just a value – it’s built into every part of how we operate. Our carbon neutral wood pellets begin their journey in forests managed under strict sustainable forestry practices. We protect and enhance the natural environment for generations to come.

Our sawmill processes 100% of each tree, minimizing waste and maximizing the value of every natural resource. This includes everything from timber for construction to bark and sawdust for biomass energy.

By integrating sustainable forestry with renewable energy production, we create a truly circular, low-carbon system that supports both people and the planet.

Looking Ahead

While Climate Action Week may be ending, our commitment to the environment continues. We invite you to join us in making sustainable choices every day. Whether it’s switching to renewable heating solutions or supporting reforestation efforts, every action counts.
