Viridis delivers wood pellets to Abellon Clean Energy

British Columbia, Canada-based Viridis Energy, an alternative energy company, has started supplying its wood pellets to sustainable energy solutions provider Abellon Clean Energy in Italy.

This is Viridis' second European customer, but the company is about to embark on a third agreement and is scheduled to begin shipping wood pellets to Switzerland within the next month.

Viridis signed an off-take agreement with Ahmedabad, India-based Abellon in August. Abellon has operations in the US, Canada, Europe, India and Africa.

'Going forward, we intend to strategically expand our production capacity to address the worldwide demand for wood pellets and other biomass products, and we are currently reviewing several contract opportunities that satisfy our near-term investment criteria and long-term growth objectives,' says Christopher Robertson, CEO of Viridis.
