Now hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of low-quality timber is being converted into real money. 6 new pellet plants, which were put into operation last year, are working for this task.

Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus: "We need to cover our needs ourselves in order to replace natural gas for heating. Why are we burning an imported resource? Therefore, I absolutely support your proposal that for the future we need to determine how much firewood, pellets and chips we need for the internal needs. We must heat houses, villages, agro-towns, cities with firewood. We have enough of this renewable resource. We can reduce the consumption of natural gas, for which we pay a lot of money."Vitaly Drozhzha, Minister of Forestry of Belarus: "The President set the task to continue work on involving all available wood resources in the turnover, creating production facilities for the production of fuel pellets. We will calculate the feasibility of switching from gas to wood chips, pellets, briquettes and so on, and the appropriate decisions will be made."
