Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. The burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal exacerbates this issue by releasing significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Firelogs, however, are considered greenhouse-gas neutral, as they release a similar amount of carbon dioxide whether they burn or decay naturally. However, smoke from inefficient wood burning remains a serious atmospheric pollutant.

Our highly compressed firelogs undergo a two-stage burning process: the ignition stage and the heat conversion stage. During ignition, the logs burn with a flame, breaking down into charcoal, volatile gases, and liquids. While the volatile gases and liquids produce some heat, it is the glowing charcoal, burning without flames, that generates the most heat. Thanks to our patented compression technology, our firelogs burn longer in the heat conversion stage, producing more heat over time.

In the Pacific Northwest, where there is a significant amount of sawmill waste, we produce our logs entirely from wood byproducts. Our bio-extruder technology can also compact other waste materials, such as peanut shells, sunflower seed shells, and various biomass containing natural lignin. These materials are transformed into a usable commodity, which can be formed into either solid logs or briquettes for home heating, industrial fuel, or cooking fuel in regions where traditional burning materials are scarce or impractical.
