Elena , a local engineer, the scent of the future smelled like sawdust. She stood at the gates of the Green Pellets plant, a facility that had become the heartbeat of the region’s green revolution. For decades, the surrounding timber industry had produced mountains of waste—shavings and scraps that were often left to rot or burned inefficiently. Elena’s mission was to turn that "waste" into "wealth." The Transformation Inside the facility, the process was a symphony of mechanical precision. Elena watched as the raw biomass was dried and compressed under immense pressure. No glues, no chemicals—just the natural lignin in the wood acting as a binder. The result was the " Green Pellet ": High Density

Plants in Florida (Biobío) or Chiguayante already produce pellets for local distribution.
