Due to their location at seaports and limited domestic production, the large power utilities in the United Kingdom and Belgium are sourcing over 75 percent of their pellet demand from non-EU suppliers. Despite their significant domestic production, the Scandinavian countries, mainly Denmark and Sweden, partly depend on imports from the Baltic Region and Russia.<\/em><\/p>\n

The port restrictions in Scandinavia are favoring the Baltic Sea supply, which generally ship with smaller vessels than used in the Atlantic trade. In Denmark, one plant is located at a deep seaport and is supplied from North America. Improved flexibility in the infrastructure is expected to further increase the sourcing from North America. The markets for pellets in Germany, Austria and lesser extent France and Italy are more isolated and depend mostly on the production in this region itself.<\/p>\n

EU demand for pellets has significantly outpaced domestic production for the past ten years. This has resulted in increased imports from the United States. In 2017, U.S. exports to the EU totaled 5.2 MMT, representing a value of $985 million. If EU demand and trade flows remain consistent with current patterns, the United States has the potential to supply 65 percent of the import demand, which would represent a trade value of potentially US$1.2 billion in 2020.<\/p>\n

Other significant exporters of pellets to the EU are Canada and Russia. In response to the EU demand\u00a0for industrial pellets, capacity has expanded in the supplying regions. These third country imports could, however, be affected by the implementation of sustainability requirements by the individual EU Member State governments.<\/p>\n

The EU is the world\u2019s largest wood pellet market, with consumption of about 22.7 MMT of pellets in 2017 (see table). Based on the European Commission (EC) mandates and Member State (MS) incentives, the demand is expected to expand further to about 24 MMT in 2018.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
