\n

Reduced pellet supplies in Western Europe and the U.K. resulting from sanctions on Russia has produced a supply shock that has vastly increased prices.<\/p>\n

Supply shock occurs when a significant portion of a good or service is no longer available in the market and substitutes are scarce or non-existent. Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions placed on Russia have created a supply shock in the European heating pellet market.<\/p>\n

The global pellet supply has been, on average, sufficient to meet demand. Local seasonal shortages have occurred during unusually long, cold winters, but aggregate supply has been sufficient to meet aggregate demand. During the previous decade, markets have not experienced any medium- or long-term supply shocks. 2022, however, has not been a typical year.<\/p>\n

The conflict in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions have significantly impacted the pellet sector. Last year, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine produced 15 percent of global trade in wood pellets. A significant portion of those pellets were destined for heating markets in Western Europe. With Russian sanctions now in place, a significant portion of the 3.5 million metric tons of wood pellets exported from these regions last year are no longer entering European markets.<\/p>\n

Russia was still exporting wood pellets as of the third quarter. Those pellets, however, are increasingly being supplied to the South Korean market.<\/p>\n

Due to the resulting supply shock in Europe, prices for pellet fuel have risen to previously unseen levels in every country that uses pellet fuels for heat and\/or power generation. Industrial pellets are trading on the spot market at more than $453 per metric ton. The price for heating pellets have risen even higher in many European markets in recent months, with the German bulk price surpassing $760 per ton earlier this fall.<\/p>\n

Prior to this supply shock, estimates showed that demand for pellet fuel could exceed 75 million metric tons per year by 2030. If sanctions on Russia are no longer in place, more than 28 million metric tons of new capacity would need to be built to fill that demand. Additional capacity would be needed if Russian sanctions continue. The uncertainty over the need for capacity to fill the gap from the loss of supply from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine is likely to put a chill on new investments made specifically to fill that gap.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
