International Biomass Supply Company

International Biomass Supply Company is a dba of Wood Pellet Export which has established relationships with pellet manufacturers and wood chip/biomass suppliers throughout North America specializing in providing long term supplies throughout Europe at the most competitive pricing. We provide all services necessary to Export World wide. We mainly deal with premium pellets with DIN + Standard 51731 and Mesquite fuel chips. Prior to supplying extensive pricing and logistical information we require that buyers provide us a Letter of Intent with a short summary of who they are and how long have they been distributing pellets, previous volumes, and a financial statement showing they have the financial capability for such a transaction.We at International Biomass Supply Company (IBS) are suppliers of hard wood fuel chips from the Gulf of Mexico and have a current operation in the field where we are harvesting mesquite wood chips to be loaded at the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas. To give you a quick understanding how significant all this is with respect to the mesquite IBS will have the capacity to handle over 100,000 MT/ month from the current port with additional capacity via rail. Our recent SGS report from Berlin was analyzed from freshly harvested wood chips that were packaged and sent to the lab the very next day which had a moisture level of just under 30%. When filling a vessel load or rail we will be loading the wood chips between 20 to 25 percent moisture depending the time of the year. The Mesquite operation by IBS is based out of the port of Corpus Christi where we can load the chips unto any large sized vessel for transport. The first contracted volumes have been secured from Ranch land where the removal of mesquite brings back a value to the ranch land since it is considered an intrusive species to this area. Current negotiated volumes with these land owners would sustain a ten year operation with volumes of up to 100,000 MT per month.Mesquite is the most common tree / shrub of the Desert Southwest. Like many members of the Legume Family (called Fabaceae these days), mesquite restores nitrogen to the soil. There are 3 common species of mesquite: Honey Mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), Screwbean Mesquite (Prosopis pubescens ) and Velvet Mesquite (Prosopis velutina). They range from a few feet to 10 to 15 feet in height, although the Honey and Velvet Mesquites may reach 30 to 60 feet in especially favorable settings. They may have single or multiple-branched stems, with each plant assuming its own distinctive shape. Harvesting mesquite from grasslands and rangelands for bioenergy serves a dual purpose in providing an alternative energy source as well as restoring these lands to its natural nature. The primary advantage of mesquite as bioenergy feedstocks is that they do not grow on land better suited for growing food or fiber and thus will not impact agricultural food markets. Harvesting the mesquite is referred to as a sustainable feedstock supply and provide the best opportunity to enhance ecosystem diversity, herbaceous forage production for livestock and habitat for wildlife. Thus, creating an ecologically sustainable harvest scenario that considers more than just feedstock supply yields.
