Development and promotion of a transparent European pellets market –

This project aimed to develop and promote transparent market structures for the pellets trade in Europe. It involved data collection from pellet producers, traders, and consumers on prices, quantities, and qualities. The project resulted in the creation of a web-based information platform, pre-feasibility studies, and a handbook in multiple languages.

  4. Target Groups: All pellet actors, mainly: • Pellet producers • Pellet traders • Pellet consumers Barriers • Information gaps • Supply bottlenecks, production surpluses • Uncertainties in quality assurance management • Lack of market confidence

Phase 1 Wood pellets data collection WP4 Mixed biomass pellets data collection and feasibility studies WP5 Phase 2 International pellets trade WP6 Pellet markets WP7 Phase 3 Internet platform, dissemination and communication WP3, WP8, WP9 Phase 4 Project management and coordination WP1 Development of a methodology WP2

  6. Activities and Outcomes • A web-based information platform on important fuel pellet market data • Recording and evaluation of the acceptance and implementation of CEN quality standards • Four pre-feasibility studies for mixed biomass pellet (MBP) utilisation in PL, SK, GR, DE • A handbook in five European languages (Danish, English, Polish, Italian and French) • 5 Workshops
