Wood Pellet Market Over the World 

Globally, the production and demand for wood pellets are still growing. And the worldwide market for industrial wood pellets will continue to rise at 2.7 MMT per year until 2025, according to forecasts. At the same time, wood pellets are also in high demand in Canadian markets. The wood pellet market in Canada focuses on exports, with high production and export capacities well over domestic demand. Over the last few years, the United Kingdom and Japan have driven the growth of demand for Canadian wood pellets to extend their use of renewable energy in heating and power plants. Government expenditure on renewable energy in this field is anticipated to drive high potential market growth. (Related post: Pellet Mill UK >>)

Why Use Wood Pellets as Fuel? 

Amount of heating generation (lower limit)
4.7 kWh/kg = about4,000 kcal/kg
Kerosene conversion value
pellet:kerosene = about2.1tons:1m3
Volume weight
650 kg/m3
Hydrous rate
8-13%
Ash
wood except bark: under 0.5%, bark: over 2.5%

The table above is the characteristcis of wood pellets produced by wood pellet making equipment. Wood pellets are among the most common types of biomass energy used worldwide. Generally, they are made from sawmilling and other agricultural waste. For decades now, the wood pellets were commonly used for heating and as fuel substitutes. Nevertheless, for decreasing fossil resources and rising fossil prices, the wood pellet markets have experienced a dramatic increase in global markets in recent years.

Is Pellet Mill Canada Worthy the Investment?

Wood Pellets Consumption in Canada

As early as 2014, more than 51 factories were built in Canada, and the total annual capacity is 5,674.00 millions. Even though the productivity is so large, it is still far from enough.


Wood Pellet Mill Industry in Canada

  • Domestic Consumption 

The current domestic pellet consumption is calculated at 300,000t/year, which is used in residential heating furnaces and the Atikokan power station in Ontario. Wood pellets have become one kind of fuel source because the cost of primary fuels like coal, gas and petrol increases and people’s concern about global climate change. But in fact, Canada and the US have not yet developed enough consumer awareness. Besides, there are not enough sophisticated appliances or incentive programs to encourage customer demand. As a result, they have fewer users of wood pellets for heating than European market.

  • Export Market 

The main markets for wood pellets produced in Canada are overseas (large) thermal power plants in Europe (including the United Kingdom and Belgium, etc.) and Asia (including Japan and South Korea) and the residential heating market in the United States. Since European market has greater demand for wood pellets than supply, Canada and the United States mainly export wood pellets to European countries. The pellets exported to Europe are used for residential, institutional and co-generation purposes. It is reported that North American wood pellets exports to Europe have doubled in the past 2 years (2012 and 2013). The North America wood pellet export in 201 was 800,000 tons, while it was 2.9 million tons in 2013 according to research data. This data is estimated to have a great increase in the following years.

As early as in 2012, the US is the largest exporter and has surpassed Canada.

Wood Pellet Mill Future in Canada

  • According to the report from the Wood Pellets Association of Canada, certain measures were taken to guarantee that the European markets remain open to Canadian wood pellets. In the meantime, Canada's pellets will have larger foreign markets for the trade of wood pellets as demand for wood pellets is increasing in Korea and Japan. 

  • Moreover, a number of new pellets from Canada have expressed their plans to export pellets, all of which demonstrate that wood pellets are being exported from Canada in due course. Canada currently has a capacity of 4.66 MMTs, but several projects are underway, anticipated to expand by 2020. (Read more: 2TPH Wood Pellet Plant in Australia >>)

Starting Wood Pellet Production Plant Projects in Canada

Although wood pellets are only a niche market of the Canadian heating system for the domestic pellet market in Canada, approximately 1 percent, during recent years, domestic consumption has remained weak due to a lack of favorable energy policies for biomass and consumer awareness. Per year, Canada still uses 60 million tonnes. Still, by Sept 2012, the new carbon emissions regulation was introduced, which required a decrease in the emission of caps, and potential Pellets used by 2019 were approximately 4.4 million tons.
