Industry Overview - Wood Pellets Industry


The following content is excerpted from the prospectus of Pinnacle Renewable Holdings Inc. dated December 15, 2017 filed on SEDAR.

  Regional Supply - Rest of the World

Industrial wood pellet nameplate capacity outside of North America and Europe remains relatively modest, accounting for approximately 3.3 million MTPA as of September, 2017, with much of this production located in Southeast Asia. Although other regions of the world have considerable forest resources, the lack of developed and reliable transportation and logistical infrastructure impede the ability of producers in other regions of the world to produce and transport industrial wood pellets at economic prices. In addition, reduced transparency of wood fibre supply and supply chain sustainability (or lack of forest land sustainability certification) has discouraged major utility customers subject to stringent sustainability requirements from sourcing significant volumes from these jurisdictions, limiting the development of these regions' industrial wood pellet production capacity.
