UK Timber pellet market analysis<br>
Timber pellet intake in UK

UK is the globe's largest timber pellet consumer (6.7 million ton), followed by America (280 million load), and also Italy (210 million load).



In UK, Belgium and also Netherlands, timber pellets is generally consumed by huge power plants, for EU has made demand on the use ratio of timber pellets by the time 2020. Reasonably, domestic timber pellet market is small.



UK wood pellet import

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



In 2017, UK reduced the import of timber pellets by 3%, the first time in the past years. This decline arises from the closed down of numerous energy centers.





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



UK timber pellet market possibility

Up to now, Europe wood pellet market remains substantial possibility. The wood pellet usage can be 10 times of today's supply, since there stay many coal-fired power plants that wish to turn to wood pellet fuel.



UK has 2 power plant conversion projects, 420MW Lynemouth power plant and also TPS Teesside power plant in Middlesbrough. richi pellet are in the appointing as well as building and construction period.



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

The owner of Drax nuclear power plant additionally announced that they would reconstruct the fourth generator set as well as use timber pellet gas. It is estimated to consume around 900,000 lots of timber pellets yearly.



Drax power plant contributes 6% of the total power generation and 11% of renewable power generation

Renewable resource in UK

UK division of organization, energy and also industrial approach released the energy statistics of the second season in 2018. Compared to the same period of 2017, the overall power generation decrease by 2.1%, as well as the complete power consumption decrease by 1.3%.



As the latest data published by UK Government. In the 2nd period of 2018, the renewable energy takes up 31.7% of the overall power generation, while the coal power generation decreases to 1.3%.



According to the statistics of BEIS, the renewable energy power consumption in the second period is 24.3 TWh, 3% greater than the amount of last year. At floating feed machine price of June, the mounted capability of eco-friendly electrical energy is 42.2 gigawatt, 10% greater than that of 2017.



Biomass energy in UK

Among all renewable energies, biomass energy adds the largest portion of 35%. Onshore wind power, offshore wind power, solar power, and also hydraulic power specifically occupies 22%、 20%、 19%, as well as 3.6%.



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



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