Wood Pellet Association of Canada members are world leaders in the design
\nand operation of modern pellet plants.<\/p>\n
They are also volume producers, as the size and number of wood pellet
\nproducers continues to grow across Canada.<\/p>\n
As of March 2012, there were 42 active plants in Canada, with 12 more in
\nconstruction and 10 others on the drawing board (see a PDF map of Canadian
\nplants, including those proposed and under construction). Most of these are
\ndirectly linked to bulk shipping options that include both rail and specially
\ndesigned deep-water port facilities on two coasts. They are ready and tuned
\nfor the development of export and Canadian bulk pellet markets (see full
\nreport on the potential Canadian market for power generation)<\/p>\n
The industry has matured, making WPAC members a reliable, seasoned pellet
\nsource.<\/p>\n
