UK Timber pellet market evaluation<br>
Wood pellet consumption in UK

UK is the globe's largest timber pellet customer (6.7 million lot), adhered to by America (280 million lot), and Italy (210 million load).




In UK, Belgium and also Netherlands, wood pellets is primarily consumed by big nuclear power plant, for EU has made requirement on the usage ratio of wood pellets by the time 2020. Fairly, household wood pellet market is little.



UK timber pellet import

By the end of 2016, UK has imported 7.1 million tons of wood pellets. Canada and America is the major wood pellet supplier for UK. 70% of Canada's timber pellets are exported to the thermal power station in UK.



In 2017, UK reduced the import of wood pellets by 3%, the first time in the past years. This decrease emerges from the shut down of numerous power centers.



At the same time, America's timber pellets exported to UK decrease by 1.9%. This reduction results from the reconstruct of some nuclear power plant. These nuclear power plant typically has wood pellet production factories in America. On the other hand, America is developing its own wood pellet market with around 25% timber pellet products are marketed in domestic.



UK timber pellet market possibility

Already, Europe wood pellet market stays huge potential. The timber pellet intake can be 10 times these days's supply, because there remain lots of coal-fired nuclear power plant that would like to count on timber pellet gas.



UK has 2 power plant conversion projects, 420MW Lynemouth power plant and also TPS Teesside nuclear power plant in Middlesbrough. These 2 jobs are in the commissioning and construction duration.



Lynemouth nuclear power plant. plastic pelletizer is 420MW.

The proprietor of Drax nuclear power plant also announced that they would certainly reconstruct the 4th generator set and also use timber pellet gas. It is estimated to consume around 900,000 tons of timber pellets each year.



Drax power plant adds 6% of the total power generation and also 11% of sustainable power generation

Renewable energy in UK

UK division of organization, power as well as commercial technique published the energy stats of the second period in 2018. Compared with the very same period of 2017, the overall power generation decrease by 2.1%, as well as the overall power usage decrease by 1.3%.



As the current data released by UK Government. In the 2nd season of 2018, the renewable energy occupies 31.7% of the overall power generation, while the coal power generation decreases to 1.3%.




According to the data of BEIS, the renewable energy power usage in the 2nd season is 24.3 TWh, 3% higher than the quantity of in 2014. At the end of June, the mounted ability of eco-friendly power is 42.2 gigawatt, 10% more than that of 2017.



Biomass energy in UK

Amongst all renewable resources, biomass power contributes the largest part of 35%. Onshore wind power, overseas wind power, solar energy, as well as hydraulic power respectively occupies 22%、 20%、 19%, as well as 3.6%.



In the second season of 2018, biomass energy power generation rise by 8.9% to 8.5 TWh, of which plant biomass electricity generation rise by 12% to 5.5 TWh, biodegradable waste power generation boost by 12%, as well as animal biomass increase by 15%.



From 2nd season of 2017 to 2018, the bioenergy capacity boost by 257 MW. Currently, UK has 3296MW plant biomass energy, 1067MW land fill gas power, 246MW Sewage sludge food digestion bioenergy, 129MW non-anaerobic food digestion animal organic energy, 412MW Anaerobic digestion biological power, and also 11MW Sintered biomass power.
