Wood pellets are produced as a part of the natural carbon cycle without additives. They are already considered a staple in the Europe energy sector and they have been steadily gaining popularity in the U.S. as well, where energy in large volume is required for industrial, commercial, and household activities. As people living in these regions come to realize the economic and ecological benefits of sustainability, the demand for wood pellets is anticipated to soar in these regions. Wood pellets are considered sustainable alternatives to popular fuel sources. Since they burn cleanly, wood pellets are preferred over coal for energy generation on account of health and air quality control considerations.

Easy availability and high energy density are a few of the prime factors facilitating the rising international trade of wood pellets. The market has been substantially gaining from the growing concerns related to the rising carbon footprint, which in turn has increased the demand for wood pellets as a substitute for fossil fuels used for power or heat generation.

As per the findings of the report, Canada and the U.S. emerged as major exporters of wood pellets in 2014. However, in the near future, Russia and emerging nations in South America and Asia Pacific will demonstrate higher activity in wood pellet exports.
