New fact sheet: Pellets – Already 1% of global bioenergy demand and expanding at a rapid pace

WBA releases fact sheet on pellets
Written by World Bioenergy AssociationOct 21, 2014, Stockholm, Sweden

The World Bioenergy Association has released its newest fact sheet: Pellets – a fast growing energy carrier. The pellet fact sheet is the sixth in a series of documents intended for media and industry as verifiable, easily referenced source of information.

The fact sheet provides an overview of pellets, their properties, production of pellets in large and small-scale technologies, pellet equipment including boilers and stoves, and the economics of pellets.

The WBA believes that pellets have the potential to become a fuel with a significant importance in the global energy balance. The availability of wood as raw material is substantial and could be further extended by the establishment of plantations of fast growing trees. Also, the possibility of using agricultural by-products offers a vast amount of resources.

“Pellets are a well packaged bioenergy carrier – they have high energy content, standardized properties and are easy to transport long distances. The use of sustainably produced pellets to replace fossil fuels is environmentally and economically attractive. There has been a tremendous growth in pellet production and use in the past decade and they will play a vital role in climate change mitigation and energy security,” says Dr. Heinz Kopetz, President, WBA.
