Appraise Biomass Market Drivers in EU and Asia at 3rd Biomass Trade and Power Summit

Share this

Biomass (wood pellets, wood chips and agricultural residues) contributes more than half of renewable energy consumption in the EU, providing a clean, secure and competitive energy resource. Besides EU, Asia, bestowed with abundant agro-biomass resources of Forestry/agricultural residues, is also developing its biomass sector both in demand and supply. Consequently, biomass trade flow is no longer limited to EU but has opened up as a global trade now.
