2022 Conference Huge Success

WPAC annual conference sheds light on pellet industry’s triumphs, challenges

Canada’s wood pellet industry covered a lot of ground at their first in-person gathering in years. Around 200 industry insiders gathered for the Wood Pellet Association of Canada (WPAC) conference in Vancouver in September 2022 to discuss the state of bioenergy and its future potential.

Speakers from coast to coast assembled to tackle questions surrounding fibre supply security, local economic development, public perceptions, climate change mitigation, and plant safety. You can see the presentations here.
