Modifying shift schedules to reduce employee contact and suspension on international trade are among the many strategies adopted by companies in the global wood pellets market amid COVID-19 pandemic. This has affected business in Japan, since Canada accounts for more than 50% of the country’s supply for wood pellets. As such, alternate revenue streams such as critical industries, including forest products, utilities, and energy are keeping economies running during the pandemic.
Canada is under great scrutiny during the pandemic, as it is responsible for exports to Europe and Asia to generate clean, renewable, and low-carbon electricity in power plants. Companies in the Canada wood pellets market are gaining recognition for maintaining robust supply chains for home heating applications in rural areas that lack accessibility for natural gas grid. They are working at breakneck speeds to keep Canada’s national rail network and ports busy in times of reduced economic activity.
The wood pellets market is expected to advance at a robust CAGR of ~11% during the assessment period. The increasing number of pellet plants is heavily dependent on the use of sawmill residues as feedstock. However, lack of adequate residues for saw dust and shavings is posing as a challenge for manufacturers and suppliers. Hence, stakeholders are sourcing additional and alternative sorts of woody feedstock involving forest industrial round wood, bark, and wood chips from saw mills, among others, to boost the production of residential and industrial-grade pellets.
It has become imperative for stakeholders to diversify their feedstock sources, since an increasing number of pellet consumers in Europe and North America is procuring long-term supply agreements from suppliers.
Innovations in wood pellet boilers are acting as key drivers for stakeholders in the wood pellets market. The market is projected to reach the valuation of US$ 31 Bn by the end of 2030. Manufacturers are increasing the availability of self-cleaning systems in wood pellet boilers that require minimal user input. However, in many cases, these boilers require frequent maintenance, and the heat exchanger must be often brushed in order to have the highest working proficiency. Hence, companies in the wood pellets market are increasing awareness about its environment-friendly advantages and cost effectiveness of wood pellets to boost boiler sales.
Since the upfront cost of boiler systems can be relatively high than traditional gas boilers, companies in the wood pellets market are increasing awareness about biomass boiler grants to help support the customers investment.
People in cold regions are gravitating toward wood pellet stoves, as the cost of natural gas is relatively higher than wood pellets. Wood pellets are growing increasingly popular as a cost efficient way for residential heating. Companies in the wood pellets market are capitalizing on this opportunity to source waste wood materials and sawdust to boost production volumes. These feedstock sources are being bound into pellets using high temperature pelletization processes sans the need for glue or additives.
In order to boost credibility credentials, manufacturers in the wood pellets market are refraining from cutting down trees and focusing on trees killed by the mountain pine beetle. They are increasing the availability of engineered pellets that have uniform size and moisture content that can be cleanly burned in specially designed automatic pellet furnaces.
Manufacturers in the wood pellets market are boosting their output capacities in pellets made from 100% sawdust for burner applications. NDMI Renewable Energy Private Limited - a gas logs supplier in Uttar Pradesh, India, is unlocking revenue opportunities in commercial heating and industrial heating applications by producing 100% sawdust fine wood pellets that are economical and easy to use.
In cold areas where room heating and water heating is a constant requirement, manufacturers in the India wood pellets market are taking advantage of such opportunities to increase their production capacities. Indian manufacturers and suppliers are taking efforts to deliver a year-round supply of wood pellets, irrespective of seasonal changes. Industrial stakeholders are preferring consistent quality in pellets to ensure consistent heating in burner applications. Wood pellets are increasingly replacing LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) for heating.
Apart from sawmill residues and shavings, manufacturers in the wood pellets market are diversifying their feedstock via fire-damaged trees. Stakeholders in Europe and Asia are gaining popularity for adopting these strategies to boost their production volumes. They are tapping incremental opportunities in the ever-increasing energy industry, which is fueling the demand for wood pellets. These wood pellets are increasingly replacing fossil fuels in energy industries.
In a study conducted at a power station in the U.K., it was found that even after accounting for fossil fuel emissions, along the supply chain during harvesting, wood pellets helped to significantly lower GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions as compared to coal. Companies in the wood pellets market are taking cues from such findings and utilizing sustainably sourced forests to increase their production capacities.
Harvard startup BiomassTrust is being highly publicized for its aim to increase the global use of sustainable bioenergy involving Brazilian eucalyptus wood pellets. Companies in the wood pellets market are taking insights from such innovations to capitalize on the demand for sustainable bioenergy. Since burning of pellets generated from tropical eucalyptus forests can lead to hazardous emissions, manufacturers and startups are increasing R&D to remove chlorine from this plant & commercialize the process.
Brazil is holding lucrative opportunities for commercialization of Brazilian eucalyptus wood pellets, owing to its advantage of abundant sustainable biomass. Manufactures are increasing research to develop patented processes that separate the chlorine from Brazilian eucalyptus leaves and trees. They are increasingly focusing on industrial-scale procedures that involve mincing and grinding the biomass to smaller size to make the wood pellets safe for international markets.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
Companies in the wood pellets market are focusing on residential heating and utilities applications to ensure revenue flow amid reduced economic activity during the coronavirus outbreak. Wood pellet boilers are gaining popularity as a renewable energy source in cold regions. However, there is a need to stabilize feedstock in both price and volume to avoid interruptions in volatile supply situations. Hence, companies should source alternate woody feedstock such as fire-damaged trees and wood produced from short rotation forestry plantations to boost output capacities. As such, manufacturers are exploiting the basin of agricultural feedstock as alternate source for feedstock. Eucalyptus trees are catching the attention of startups in Brazil to increase the utilization of bioenergy.
