Europe Biomass Pellets Market: Industry Analysis and Forecast (2024-2030) Trends, Statistics, Dynamics, Segmentation by Source, Application and Region

Europe Biomass Pellets Market Definition:

Biomass pellets produce negligible greenhouse emissions and hence do not contribute to global warming. They're also used to heat stoves and boilers as an alternative to coal in power plants. Coconut shells, treetops, fruit bunches, and palm kernel shells are used to make biomass pellets. When fossil-fuel reserves run out and carbon emission regulations increase, they become extremely important sustainable energy sources.

 

Further, the Europe Biomass Pellets market is segmented by Source, Application, and geography. On the basis of Source , the Europe Biomass Pellets market is segmented under Agriculture Residue& Waste, Forest& Wood waste, Virgin Lumber, Food Waste , Energy Crop, Industrial waste & other. Based on the Application, the market is segmented under Pellet Stove, Pellet Boilers, Free-Standing stoves, Animal Bedding, Combined Heat and Power(CHP), Commercial heating, Residential heating, Power generation and Other. By geography, the market covers the major countries in Europe i.e., Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, Russia, France and Rest of Europe For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done on the basis of value (in USD Billion).

Europe Biomass Pellets COVID 19 Insights:

Due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns, the COVID-19 has had a negative impact on economies and businesses in the European region. The closing of various plants and factories has had a severe influence on supply chains, negatively affecting manufacturing, delivery schedules, and product sales in the market. A few companies have already announced that there may be delays in product deliveries and a decrease in future sales.

 

Europe Biomass Pellets Market Dynamics:

Market Drivers:

Europe is a leading country in biomass pellet production, as the European Union promotes green energy policies to combat major environmental pollution caused by rapid fossil fuel combustion. Due to the strong demand for space heating, household, and industrial purposes, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Latvia, Estonia, France, and other countries are producing biomass pellets at an incredible rate.

 

The United Kingdom is a major consumer of biomass pellets. Around 40% of biomass pellets generated in Europe are likely to be used in the country. In the United Kingdom, strict restrictions are in place to promote environmental protection. The United Kingdom is also a leader in the manufacture of clean energy.

 

Market Trend:

The majority of stoves in rural regions use firewood as a fuel source. Firewood has a low burning efficiency and is difficult to store. Also, developing a device that can automatically feed in firewood and control the quantity of firewood during the combustion period is difficult. However, using gas or electricity as a burning fuel is far more expensive than using firewood. This conflicted situation gives biomass pellets a broad commercial possibility since they retain advantages such as high burning efficiency, ease of storage, and low cost, among others.

 

Apart from stoves, biomass pellets can be used as burning fuel for residential and central heating systems. In North European nations like Denmark and Hungary, biomass pellet heating systems are highly recommended. This type of biomass pellet boiler may reliable automatic operation over a week by using the pre-setting mode. It can control temperature, feed biomass pellets, and automatically supply hot water.

 

Market Challenges:

Because of the lack of centralized capital, poor profitability, frequent fluctuations in crude oil prices, and high market risk, few investors have taken the lead in the biomass pellets power generation market. Biomass pellet power generation is constrained by high operating costs and excessive investment. Biomass pre-treatment technologies come with additional costs that many small farmers and fuel companies cannot afford.

 

The moisture content of conventional wood is 30%, which means that for every tonne of wood transported, 300 kg are water. Also, biomass pellets feedstock shape (chipped, pelletized, rounded, baled) has a strong influence on bulk density and transportation economics. As a result, compaction and densification are regarded as critical for an efficient biomass supply.

 

Europe Biomass Pellets Market Segment Analysis:

By Source, Plant-based materials used as a source of energy are referred to as agricultural products. Agricultural products can be grains like corn and wheat, or they can be plants like switchgrass and miscanthus. These plant-based materials are burned to generate electricity or heat. Agricultural products, unlike traditional fossil fuels, provide an environmentally friendly option for generating renewable energy.

 

Plants that can generate electricity or produce fuels like ethanol and biodiesel are known as energy crops. Switchgrass, Miscanthus, willow, poplar and hybrid poplar, sugarcane, and soybean are the most frequent energy crops. Energy crops can be cultivated on land that isn't suited for food production. They can also be grown using environmentally friendly farming methods that help to increase soil health and minimize agricultural emissions.

 

 

By Application, Pellet stoves are stoves that burn compressed wood or biomass pellets to provide heat for residential and industrial environments. It produces a constant flame that requires little to no physical modifications by steadily feeding fuel from a storage container (hopper) into a burn pot area.

 

Facilities with consistent electric and thermal loads, such as hospitals, schools, recreational facilities, industrial facilities, hotels, and nursing homes, are good fits for cogeneration. CHP is most common in locations with a high concentration of industrial and commercial activity, high electric rates, and CHP-friendly policies. One of the most common uses for biomass pellets is industrial heating. Biomass pellets can be used in a variety of industries, including pharmaceutical, leather, brick manufacture, thermal plants, and tire manufacturing because they can effectively replace coal in boilers.
