研究和擴張策略的大量投資推動北美生質能顆粒市場
主要木屑顆粒製造商正在大力投資研發活動,以提高木屑顆粒生產流程的效率。生質能顆粒製造商投資於技術進步,為顆粒廠開發新的和改進的設計,確保以最佳的燃料輸入獲得更好的產量。此外,也進行了廣泛的研究活動,以提高現有原料中木屑顆粒的熱值。此外,製造商越來越注重透過投資木屑顆粒工廠擴建活動來最大化市場佔有率。例如,2021 年 5 月,生質能生產商和供應商 Drax Group 計劃在阿肯色州新建三座木屑顆粒生產廠,價值 4,000 萬美元。預計這三個「衛星」工廠的木屑顆粒總產能約為 12 萬噸/年。同樣,2020 年 12 月,Pinnacle Renewable Holdings 位於加拿大艾伯塔省的木屑顆粒生產設施開始運作。新工廠符合該公司的目標,即藉助從加拿大 Tolko 現有鋸木廠獲得的高品質木纖維,實現纖維供應多元化。 2021年,Drax Group PLC宣佈到2030年生質顆粒年產能目標為800萬噸,較2021年的400萬噸增加。2022年,Drax Group PLC與加拿大普林斯頓標準顆粒公司簽署收購協議,具有年產9萬噸木屑顆粒的生產能力。因此,對研究和設施擴建的大量投資預計將在未來幾年促進北美生質能顆粒市場的成長。
北美生質能顆粒市場概況
與住宅暖氣油和丙烷相比,北美生質顆粒市場主要受到生質顆粒區域成本競爭力的推動。由於海外市場需求的不斷成長,北美的木顆粒生產在過去幾年中獲得了成長。據美國農業部稱,美國和加拿大向荷蘭和比利時的發電廠供應木屑顆粒。該地區國內生質能顆粒需求的增加促使製造商擴大產能。 2023年,加拿大Grand River Pellets投資3,000萬美元,將生質顆粒產能從每年14萬噸擴大到22萬噸。美國約有 100 萬戶住宅將木顆粒用於多種用途,例如取暖、獨立式爐灶、壁爐、熔爐和鍋爐。據顆粒燃料研究所稱,該地區的木顆粒是在美國和加拿大的製造工廠生產的,並透過壁爐經銷商、苗圃、建築用品商店和折扣店進行分銷。因此,該地區生質能顆粒生產設施的擴張預計將在預測期內推動市場發展。

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.
