研究和扩张策略的大量投资推动北美生物质颗粒市场
主要木屑颗粒製造商正在大力投资研发活动,以提高木屑颗粒生产流程的效率。生物质颗粒製造商投资于技术进步,为颗粒厂开发新的和改进的设计,确保以最佳的燃料输入获得更好的产量。此外,也进行了广泛的研究活动,以提高现有原料中木屑颗粒的热值。此外,製造商越来越注重透过投资木屑颗粒工厂扩建活动来最大化市场份额。例如,2021 年 5 月,生物质生产商和供应商 Drax Group 计划在阿肯色州新建三座木屑颗粒生产厂,价值 4,000 万美元。预计这三个「卫星」工厂的木屑颗粒总产能约为 12 万吨/年。同样,2020 年 12 月,Pinnacle Renewable Holdings 位于加拿大艾伯塔省的木屑颗粒生产设施开始运作。新工厂符合该公司的目标,即藉助从加拿大 Tolko 现有锯木厂获得的高品质木纤维,实现纤维供应多元化。 2021年,Drax Group PLC宣布到2030年生质颗粒年产能目标为800万吨,较2021年的400万吨增加。2022年,Drax Group PLC与加拿大普林斯顿标准颗粒公司签署收购协议,具有年产9万吨木屑颗粒的生产能力。因此,对研究和设施扩建的大量投资预计将在未来几年促进北美生物质颗粒市场的成长。
北美生物质颗粒市场概况
与住宅暖气油和丙烷相比,北美生质颗粒市场主要受到生质颗粒区域成本竞争力的推动。由于海外市场需求的不断增长,北美的木颗粒生产在过去几年中获得了成长。据美国农业部称,美国和加拿大向荷兰和比利时的发电厂供应木屑颗粒。该地区国内生物质颗粒需求的增加促使製造商扩大产能。 2023年,加拿大Grand River Pellets投资3,000万美元,将生质颗粒产能从每年14万吨扩大到22万吨。美国约有 100 万户住宅将木颗粒用于多种用途,例如取暖、独立式炉灶、壁炉、熔炉和锅炉。据颗粒燃料研究所称,该地区的木颗粒是在美国和加拿大的製造工厂生产的,并透过壁炉经销商、苗圃、建筑用品商店和折扣店进行分销。因此,该地区生物质颗粒生产设施的扩张预计将在预测期内推动市场发展。

The North America biomass pellets market is expected to grow from US$ 789.10 million in 2022 to US$ 1,124.36 million by 2030. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2030.
Significant Investment in Research and Expansion Strategies Drives North America Biomass Pellets Market
Major manufacturers of wood pellets are significantly investing in research and development activities to improve the efficiency of the wood pellet production process. Biomass pellets manufacturers invest in technological advancement to develop new and improved designs for pellet mills, ensuring better output with optimum fuel input. Also, extensive research activities have been carried out to promote the calorific value of wood pellets from the available feedstock. Further, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on maximizing market share by investing in plant expansion activities concerning wood pellets. For instance, in May 2021, Drax Group, a biomass producer and supplier, strategized to establish three new wood pellet production plants in Arkansas worth US$ 40 million. The three "satellite" plants are expected to possess a combined capacity of ~120,000 kilo tons/year of wood pellets. Similarly, in December 2020, Pinnacle Renewable Holdings started operations in the wood pellets production facility in Alberta, Canada. The new facility is aligned with the company's objective to diversify its fiber supply with the help of high-quality wood fiber obtained from Tolko's existing sawmill in Canada. In 2021, Drax Group PLC announced targets of 8 million tons of biomass pellets production capacity per annum by 2030, an increase compared to 4 million tons in 2021. In 2022, Drax Group PLC signed an acquisition agreement with Princeton Standard Pellet Corporation (Canada), with a production capacity of 90,000 tons of wood pellets per year. Hence, significant investment in research and expansion of facilities are expected to proliferate the growth of the North America biomass pellets market over the coming years.
North America Biomass Pellets Market Overview
The North America biomass pellets market is significantly driven by the regional cost competitiveness of biomass pellets as compared to residential heating oil and propane. The production of wood pellets in North America has gained traction over the past few years due to rising demand from overseas markets. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the US and Canada supply wood pellets to the power plants in the Netherlands and Belgium. The increase in domestic demand for biomass pellets in the region has prompted manufacturers to expand their production capacities. In 2023, Grand River Pellets (Canada) invested US$ 30 million to expand the biomass pellets production capacity from 140,000 to 220,000 metric tons per year. There are ~1 million residences in the US that use wood pellets for several applications, such as heat, freestanding stoves, fireplace inserts, furnaces, and boilers. According to the Pellet Fuels Institute, wood pellets in the region are produced in manufacturing facilities in the US and Canada, and distributed through fireplace dealers, nurseries, building supply stores, and discount merchandisers. Thus, the expansion of biomass pellets production facilities in the region is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
