What is Hog Fuel?

Hog fuel is a type of biomass derived from the wood waste produced by lumber mills and forestry operations. It consists of a mixture of bark, sawdust, wood chips, and other wood residues. The composition of hog fuel can vary depending on the sources of wood waste it is made from.

In the lumber industry, hog fuel is primarily used as a renewable energy source. It is burned in boilers to produce steam or electricity, helping mills reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and lower their carbon footprint. The steam generated can be used to power turbines for electricity or to provide heat for drying wood and other industrial processes within the mill.

The process of making hog fuel involves collecting wood waste from lumber processing activities, such as sawing, planing, and debarking. This waste material is then ground up or chipped into smaller pieces to create a more uniform product that can be efficiently burned in boilers.

The production of hog fuel is driven by both environmental and economic factors. Environmentally, it provides a way to repurpose waste materials that would otherwise end up in landfills, contributing to waste reduction and the circular economy. Economically, using hog fuel allows mills to lower their energy costs by utilizing a by-product of their operations as fuel. This not only reduces waste but also provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing external fuel sources.
