Wood pellet consumption in the European Union fell by 1.2% last year despite increased production. EU wood pellet demand and production are both expected to increase in 2024. <\/span><\/p>\n

A recent report filed with the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service\u2019s Global Agricultural Information Network\u00a0attributes last year\u2019s drop in EU pellet demand to a mild winter and reduced demand from the commercial power sector. Current low prices, combined with government incentives, are expected to support the popularity of biomass for residential heating in 2024. Demand for pellets by the industrial sector, however, is expected to remain stagnant this year. With EU pellet production not keeping pace with increased demand, wood pellet imports are expected to partially recover from the dip reported in 2023.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the EU produced 20.8 million metric tons of wood pellets last year, up from 20.3 million metric tons in 2022 and 19.361 million metric tons in 2021. Production is expected to grow to 21.2 million metric tons this year. Total EU wood pellet production capacity is expected to reach 27.5 million metric tons per year in 2024, up from 27.2 million metric tons per year last year. Capacity utilization is expected at 77.1% for 2024, compared to 76.5% in 2023.<\/p>\n

Approximately 24.5 million metric tons of wood pellets were consumed in the EU last year, compared to 24.8 million metric tons in 2022 and 22.951 million metric tons in 2021. Pellet consumption is expected to reach 25.4 million metric tons this year.<\/p>\n

The EU is expected to export 1 million metric tons of wood pellets this year, compared to 1.16 million metric tons last year and 1.487 million metric tons in 2022. Wood pellet imports are expected to reach 5.3 million metric tons in 2024, compared to 4.889 million metric tons in 2023 and 5.89 million metric tons in 2022.<\/p>\n

Germany was the EU\u2019s top pellet consumer last year at 3.4 million metric tons, followed by France at 3.15 million metric tons and Italy at 2.7 million metric tons.<\/p>\n

Germany was also the EU\u2019s top producer of wood pellets last year, at 3.71 million metric tons, followed by France at 2.25 million metric tons and Latvia at 1.95 million metric tons.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands was the EU\u2019s top importer of wood pellets in 2023 at 2.328 million metric tons, with 1.546 million of that volume coming from the U.S., followed by Denmark at 2.237 million metric tons and Italy at 2.058 million metric tons. The Netherlands was the top destination for U.S. wood pellet exports to the EU, followed by Denmark at 498,000 metric tons, Belgium at 429,000 metric tons and France at 290,000 metric tons.<\/p>\n

Overall, the U.S. was the top source of wood pellet imports to the EU last year at 2.907 million metric tons, followed by Ukraine at 466,000 metric tons, Brazil at 369,000 metric tons and Canada at 337,000 metric tons.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
