Delivering Renewable Energy in Northern Ontario & Quebec
Commercial Bioenergy’s woodchip BioHub, located near Kirkland Lake, Ontario, supplies high-quality woody biomass across Northern Ontario and Quebec. Our mission is to support the transition away from fossil fuels by delivering high‑quality wood fuel products and innovative bioenergy solutions grounded in sustainable forestry practices.
What we supply?
We offer a range of woody biomass products tailored to different bioenergy systems.
Your choice of woodchip quality
High-quality softwood chips
Made almost exclusively from residues from the Kirkland Lake Forest Products‘ fingerjoint manufacturing plant, these high quality chips have a moisture content around 20% and contain no bark.
Dry and clean for an almost pellet-like experience with your woodchip boiler.
Cost-effective mixed wood chips
Our cost-effective woodchips are made from mixed hardwood and/or softwood residues gathered from all around the region.
The best value for bigger biomass boilers that do not need high quality fuels and can accommodate moisture content around 30 to 55%.
All our products are made from locally sourced forest residues, sawmill by-products, and other wood waste streams, helping reduce waste and promote a circular wood energy economy.
Your choice of size
1-inch minus
Our 1-inch minus wood chips are a refined, medium-fine biomass product produced from clean forestry residues, roundwood, or mill byproducts. This chip grade includes a blend of small, irregular particles—from sawdust-sized fines up to chips 1 inch (25 mm) in length—offering good flowability and uniform combustion characteristics.
These chips are ideal for use in small to medium-scale biomass boilers, including auger-fed or silo-based systems that require more consistent chip sizing. They are also frequently used as a high-carbon composting input, horticultural mulch, and as a soil conditioner or erosion control layer. When dried, 1″ minus chips can be used for biochar production or biomass pellet feedstock, and they offer excellent performance as a bulking material in organic waste treatment.
2-inch minus
Our 2-inch minus wood chips are a medium-grade biomass product made from chipped forestry residues, roundwood, or sawmill byproducts. This material features a well-blended mix of particle sizes—ranging from fines to chips up to 2 inches (50 mm) in length—offering a balance between flowability and energy density.
These chips are ideal for medium to large-scale biomass heating systems, especially those with auger-fed or conveyor-fed fuel systems that require more consistent sizing. 2″ minus wood chips are also widely used in commercial composting, horticultural mulching, and erosion control. When dried, they are a suitable feedstock for biochar production and may also be used in animal bedding or as a bulking agent in organic waste processing.
4-inch minus
Our 4-inch minus wood chips are a coarse, unrefined biomass product produced from forestry residues, roundwood, or mill waste. This chip grade includes a blend of particle sizes – from fines to chunks up to 4 inches (100 mm) in length – making it ideal for a range of industrial and environmental applications.
These chips are well-suited for use in large-scale biomass heating systems, including boilers and gasifiers capable of handling variable fuel sizes. Additionally, 4″ minus chips are commonly used in composting operations, erosion control, rough mulching, and as low-grade animal bedding. When dried, they can also serve as a feedstock for biochar production.
Packaging & Delivery
Our woody biomass is delivered loose in bulk by truck or container. Sold by volume (m³) or weight (tonne) based on customer requirements.
Kirkland Lake Biomass Chipping Operation
To support local energy demand and strengthen regional woody fuel supply chains, Commercial Bioenergy has established a wood‑chipping infrastructure near Kirkland Lake, Ontario that we call BioHub.
Supported by Ontario’s Forest Biomass Program, our operation processes large volumes of forest residues into standardized wood chips, ready for bioenergy systems or further processing.
Our goals with this initiative include:
- Increase the utilization of under‑used forest and wood industry residues that might otherwise be burned or left as waste.
- Improve consistency and quality of wood chip fuel for commercial biomass heating and power systems.
- Support local economic growth by building infrastructure and creating jobs tied to the wood supply chain.
Building a Cleaner, Local Energy Future with Biomass
Our Kirkland Lake BioHub turns local forest residues into high-quality wood fuel that powers homes, businesses, and communities across Northern Ontario and Quebec. By choosing sustainable biomass, you’re supporting cleaner energy, a circular economy, and local jobs, all while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
