Biopellets Energy Market

Global Biopellets Energy Market: Overview

Biopellets are renewable sources of energy, which are widely consumed across Asia Pacific, Europe, and the U.S. They are a kind of solid fuel and have a uniform energy content, size, shape, moisture, and density. Biopellets are manufacturing using biomass types such as bark and sawdust. The widely deployed methods of manufacturing biopellets includes stages which are compressing, drying, pulverizing, and then molding biomass in pellets of cylindrical shape.

Global Biopellets Energy Market: Trends and Opportunities

The global biopellets energy market has been significantly gaining from favorable government regulations aimed at curbing carbon emission by increasing reliance on renewable energy for the purpose of generating power. For instance, between 2013 and 2020 the government in Europe is committed towards reducing its emission levels by an average 20% under the Kyoto Protocol. Also countries across the region has several regulations in place to monitor carbon emission and encourage the deployment of greener technologies. These regulations have been in favor of biopellets energy thereby giving impetus to the market.

The biopellets also offer advantages on various technological parameters. For instance, their price point is considerably lower than petro products such as heavy oil, natural gas, and diesel. Furthermore, the biomass production encouraged by governments worldwide is available at a lower price and also requires lesser capital investment, which is a chief driver of the global biopellets energy market.

Despite witnessing positive growth, the scope of expansion for the market players is restrained due to the limited number of large scale production facilities. Additionally, fluctuation in the availability of raw materials from other industries also pose threat. Besides this, the prevalent intense competition in the biogas sector is also acting as a major restraint to the global biopellets market.

Nevertheless, in the forthcoming years, the market is expected to gain from the rising demand for energy derived from biopellets, especially across manufacturing facilities around the world. Also, players mostly domiciled in the U.S. are leveraging operations across Europe to expand their footprint. This holds immense opportunities for the market’s growth in the near future.

Global Biopellets Energy Market: Regional Outlook

Regionally, Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World are the key market segments. Among these, the market is witnessing lucrative opportunities across Europe. With industries and the commercial sector booming, coupled with significantly high demand from the domestic sector, the biopellets market in Europe is poised to witness strong growth in the forthcoming years. In the U.S. however the manufacturing of biopelletes is more concentrated in the north central and north eastern states. Besides this, new pellet manufacturing facilities are also commissioned across the southern U.S. countries such as Kentucky, Alabama, and West Virginia. Other countries around the world exhibiting lucrative opportunities for the market are Sweden, Japan, Canada, Germany, and Austria.
