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

UK is the world's largest timber pellet consumer (6.7 million load), followed by America (280 million bunch), as well as Italy (210 million heap).



In UK, Belgium as well as Netherlands, wood pellets is primarily consumed by huge power plants, for EU has actually made requirement on the use ratio of timber pellets by the time 2020. Reasonably, household timber pellet market is tiny.



UK timber pellet import

By the end of 2016, UK has actually imported 7.1 million lots of timber pellets. Canada as well as America is the significant wood pellet vendor for UK. 70% of Canada's wood pellets are exported to the thermal power plant in UK.



In 2017, UK cut the import of wood pellets by 3%, the very first time in the past years. This reduction occurs from the closed down of a number of power facilities.



At the same time, America's timber pellets exported to UK decrease by 1.9%. This reduction results from the restore of some power plants. These power plants generally has wood pellet manufacturing facilities in America. On the other hand, America is creating its very own timber pellet market with about 25% timber pellet products are offered in domestic.



UK wood pellet market possibility

Previously, Europe timber pellet market remains massive possibility. richi pellet can be 10 times of today's supply, since there stay lots of coal-fired nuclear power plant that would love to rely on wood pellet fuel.



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




Lynemouth nuclear power plant. The power generation capacity is 420MW.

The owner of Drax nuclear power plant additionally announced that they would certainly reconstruct the fourth generator collection as well as use wood pellet fuel. It is estimated to consume around 900,000 lots of wood pellets every year.



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

Renewable energy in UK

UK division of company, energy and industrial technique published the power stats of the second season in 2018. Compared to the very same duration of 2017, the complete power generation decrease by 2.1%, and also the overall power intake decrease by 1.3%.



As the most recent statistics published by UK Government. In the 2nd period of 2018, the renewable resource occupies 31.7% of the total power generation, while the coal power generation lowers to 1.3%.



According to the data of BEIS, the renewable energy power consumption in the 2nd period is 24.3 TWh, 3% more than the amount of in 2015. At the end of June, the installed ability of renewable electrical energy is 42.2 gigawatt, 10% higher than that of 2017.




Biomass power in UK

Among all renewable energies, biomass power contributes the biggest portion of 35%. Onshore wind power, offshore wind power, solar energy, and also hydraulic power respectively takes up 22%、 20%、 19%, and 3.6%.



In the second period of 2018, biomass energy power generation rise by 8.9% to 8.5 TWh, of which plant biomass electrical power generation increase by 12% to 5.5 TWh, eco-friendly waste power generation boost by 12%, and pet biomass rise by 15%.



From second period of 2017 to 2018, the bioenergy ability increase by 257 MW. Presently, UK has 3296MW plant biomass energy, 1067MW land fill gas power, 246MW Sewer sludge digestion bioenergy, 129MW non-anaerobic digestion animal organic power, 412MW Anaerobic digestion biological power, and also 11MW Sintered biomass power.
