Renewable energy company Drax is excited to announce the launch of its virtual tour of its LaSalle, LA, pellet plant. The tour allows visitors to explore the plant’s operations, including the production of a wood pellet.
The virtual tour offers a comprehensive look at the entire pellet production process, from raw fiber to the final product – wood pellets created from the byproducts of the lumber industry. The video follows Drax team members through various sections of the plant and provides detailed insight into the role of biomass in producing sustainable energy.
“Our aim is to help educate the public about the significance of sustainable energy and Drax’s role within the broader timber industry,” said Matt White, Executive Vice President of North America Operations at Drax. “This virtual tour showcases the technologies and methods we use, offering a glimpse into our processes and our dedication to safety and sustainability.”
The virtual tour is now available at www.drax.com/lasalle. You can also find it on Drax’s social channels, including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. It serves as an educational resource for students, educators, organizations, and anyone interested in the pellet production process.
