By the 1950s, bark was being pelleted in the U.S. to reduce waste in the sawmill industry. European countries like Sweden joined the trend, and recent decades have seen more parts of the world use wood pellets for heating and energy applications in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. They have even been gaining popularity for use on farms and in stables as animal bedding.<\/p><p>While wood pellets are traditionally made from wood residues \u2013 a process we explained\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/indispensable-materials-part-13-whats-fueling-demand-wood-pellet\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 increasingly, pellets are also produced using agricultural byproducts such as straw. Whatever their ingredients, it is important that they are dry and dense so that they burn consistently and efficiently. Consider that the moisture content of wood pellets can be reduced to as little as 4 percent, compared to 20 to 60 percent for raw biomass. The final product should be uniform and high in energy content.<\/p><p>These properties mean wood pellets offer numerous advantages aside from making good use of waste that might otherwise fill landfills. Firstly, they are convenient. Due to all that energy being packed into pellets of the same size and shape, they are relatively cheap to transport, store, and handle. Their properties mean they also combust consistently and efficiently, providing a comparatively\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pelletheat.org\/what-are-pellets-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clean<\/a>\u00a0source of heat and power \u2013 wood pellets release a fraction of the particulate matter emitted by raw biomass when burned.<\/p><p>This all makes wood pellets an important option because almost half of all energy consumption is in the form of heat, and biomass has a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/worldbioenergy.org\/uploads\/191129%20WBA%20GBS%202019_HQ.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">96 percent share<\/a>\u00a0in the renewable heat market globally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c374067 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c374067\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/wood-pellets-2020-Infographic_1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"What Is A Tpical Wood Pellet Made Of?\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzM5NDcsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzA3XC93b29kLXBlbGxldHMtMjAyMC1JbmZvZ3JhcGhpY18xLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1091\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/wood-pellets-2020-Infographic_1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-33947\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/wood-pellets-2020-Infographic_1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/wood-pellets-2020-Infographic_1-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/wood-pellets-2020-Infographic_1-721x1024.jpg 721w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2bf539 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c2bf539\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How is the market doing?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2f1522 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e2f1522\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The market for wood pellets has continued to grow rapidly in recent years.

In 2018, Europe consumed 75 percent of the world\u2019s wood pellets, with Asia-Pacific accounting for 18 percent as imports rose by 51 percent. Rising demand stems significantly from government efforts to seek alternatives to burning fossil fuels like coal. Across the European Union, for example, wood pellets have been subsidized\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozy.com\/news-and-politics\/as-it-phases-out-coal-europe-has-a-new-problem-to-solve\/275169\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">to the tune of around USD 7 billion per year<\/a>. Asia\u2019s interest is also particularly worth noting because soaring imports in countries like South Korea, which witnessed the biggest increase in consumption from 2014 to 2018, have also been pushing up wood pellet production in places like Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.<\/p><p>Going forward, the market outlook is also generally positive, with an expected expansion at a CAGR of between\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transparencymarketresearch.com\/pressrelease\/wood-pellet-market.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">6.12 percent<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandviewresearch.com\/industry-analysis\/wood-pellets-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">9.4 percent<\/a>\u00a0up until 2027.
