Large Energy User Initiative of the Year
New Zealand Energy Excellence Awards 2019
Red Stag Timber is an industry leader when it comes to producing quality structural timber products. The largest sawmill in the Southern Hemisphere processing one million tons of logs per year. We have recently added a new biomass boiler and steam turbine generator. This allows the site to process all of its waste residues, supply all its own thermal energy, all of its own electricity and exports power to the national grid - all carbon neutral from local sustainable plantation forestry. A true biomass powered sawmill.
