Wood Pellet Feasibility

This Excel spreadsheet provides an opportunity to conduct analysis on the feasibility of constructing and operating a wood pellet facility. This spreadsheet was designed by Averill Cook to aid in the decision making process.

A fundamental challenge is having adequate feedstock of consistent quality material. The Site Selection Tool is also helpful in identifying potential sources of feedstock material.

Microsoft Excel or Excel Viewer (a free download) is required to utilize the spreadsheet.
