The Japanese Forestry Agency announced the statistics for wood pellet supply in Japan for 2017.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Domestic production was 126,532 tonne, 5.3% more than in 2016, while imports of wood pellet increased considerably to 506,353 tonne, 46% higher as compared to the previous year. Domestic share of the total wood pellets supply is now down to 20%, while imports is up to 80%.<\/p>\n

The main reason of this rise in supply is that the demand of fuel increased. Total wood pellet supply in 2017 was 632,885 tonne, 35.5% more than 2016. In 2013, the total was about 190,000 tonne and share of the imports was 43%. The imports managed to exceed internal production in 2015, while in 2017 their share increased to 80%<\/p>\n

The main sources of imports are Canada and Vietnam. Others like Southern U.S.A., Malaysia, Thailand and Russia are expected to increase the supply to Japan in the upcoming years.<\/p>\n

Domestic supply has increased for three years in a row. Fuel use reached 122,047 tonne, 7.4% more than in 2016. Use of pellets for heating didn't increase as much. The main increase was reported in the use of pellets in power generation plants as to replace coal.<\/p>\n

Number of wood pellet manufacturers in Japan is 147, one less than in 2016.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
