Drax Biomass is a manufacturer of compressed wood pellets produced from sustainably managed working forests. Headquartered in Monroe, LA, with operations across the Southeastern U.S., the company is committed to supporting the communities in which we operate by promoting sustainable forestry and investing in local economic development.
Our pellets allow electric utilities to reduce their dependence on coal, lower carbon emissions and provide new sources of safe, reliable and affordable power. Drax Biomass is a subsidiary of Drax Group plc, which is playing a vital role in helping to deliver a better future by changing the way energy is generated, supplied and used.
Drax Biomass operations are strategically located in the Southeastern U.S., providing ready access to large tracts of responsibly managed working forests, modern infrastructure and an available workforce of trained loggers, wood haulers, plant operators and other critical specialties.
We own and operate three manufacturing plants that convert locally sourced wood fiber into compressed pellets. The plants are located in areas hard-hit by recent consolidation in the pulp and paper industry, resulting in a surplus of low-value wood from harvesting operations.
