Global
wood pellet demand is rapidly expanding as consumers, businesses and
regulators look for alternatives to fossil fuels. Globally, wood pellet
demand is projected to grow from an estimated 23 million metric tons in
2014 to 50 million metric tons in 2024. These and other key findings
were released in a new study by RISI, the leading information provider
for the global forest products industry.
"It's a really exciting time to be looking at the wood pellet market.
We're seeing strong demand in the European heating sector as high
energy prices drive consumers to look for fuel alternatives. Also,
policies that promote the generation of renewable energy are spurring
the use of pellets as a substitution for coal in power plants," said
Seth Walker, author and bioenergy economist at RISI.
"Additionally, Korea and Japan are beginning to enter the market,
creating a greater impact on global trade flows. Right now we're getting
a small taste of what the market is going to look like in 10 years,"
continued Walker.
