ABOUT FOREST ENERGY MONITOR

The market for bioenergy is growing extraordinarily quickly. Meeting ambitious targets for renewable energy will require ever larger quantities of forest biomass to be mobilised, potentially matching the volume of wood currently used by traditional forest based industries.

 

As a result, energy wood and pellets are becoming internationally traded commodities. However, this aspect of the market is poorly covered by existing publications. Forest Energy Monitor fills this gap by taking a more analytical approach to the global biomass and pellet markets.

 

Forest Energy Monitor is published six times a year. The coverage is global, but the focus is Europe and North America. Each issue will address three main themes:

  • Developments in forest biomass and pellet markets. This will include detailed coverage of market prices for energy wood and pellets, as well as biomass cost/price drivers such as forest and sawmill activity, freight rates, currencies, fossil energy markets and competition from non-wood biomass.
  • The feedstock implications of new investments and technologies. Future issues will focus on subjects such as torrefaction; wood pellet capacity growth; the status of wood-based biofuel technologies; shipping and logistic infrastructure; plantation investments in Africa, Latin America and Asia; and biorefinery developments at pulp and paper mills, etc.
  • National and international policies and legislation. The report will follow the development of policies and changes in incentives and regulations that have an impact on biomass and pellet demand and supply.

Forest Energy Monitor aims to be an essential tool for forest owners, pellet producers and biomass suppliers, sawmills and wood panel producers, pulp and paper companies, energy companies and utilities, shipping companies and port operators; equipment suppliers, financial institutions, policy makers and academics.
