At the end of 2021, about 2.5 million tons of wood fuel pellets were produced in Russia.\u00a0However, in 2022, local factories have significantly reduced production.<\/p>\n
Ekaterina Mikhailova, Executive Director of the Russian Pellet Union (RPS), says: \u201cAt the beginning of June, about 10% of pellet plants suspended production.\u00a0There was a logistical collapse both in the water and automobile direction, and in the railroad.\u00a0After July 10, there is a risk of suspension of 90% of production due to the lack of export prospects: the capacity of the available market in the eastern direction (South Korea, Japan) is insufficient for Russian production volumes.<\/p>\n
