Biofuel sales increase

Pellet sales are steadily increasing throughout Europe. If they already did before the pandemic and the energy crisis caused by Russia, now the demand is growing much faster. For example, Spain and Austria require 100.000 tons more each year, Germany 500.000 and France 300.000.

New plants are being built and existing ones are being upgraded to increase production capacity. When making pellets, improving the energy efficiency and robustness Technological are two factors that equipment suppliers offer in order to maintain ENplus standards.

Offer the fuel more economical and abundant is not at odds with quality, as shown by BIOMASUD suppliers of chips, shells, olive stones,...

The wood, economic and sustainable, also requires a process of handling, cleaning, cutting and drying to reach the consumer and avoid the classic emission problems in traditional open homes.

Spain and Canada seek greater collaboration in the bioenergy sector
"The webinar was an interesting contact for our companies and also for Canadian organizations on an issue with great potential for development in both countries, such as biomass power generation, an important resource in both Canada and Spain", according to Javier Díaz, president of AVEBIOM.
Naturpellet invests 3,5 million in expanding its production capacity by 20.000 tons of pellets
Naturpellet faces its crucial period of the year driven by the expansion of its manufacturing capacity that has just concluded.

The icing on the cake to a growth process developed in phases that began in 2018 with the incorporation of a third granulator and the comprehensive renovation of the material drying area of ​​its facilities in Sanchonuño (Segovia).
Biofuels Map 2020
The 2020 Solid Biofuels Map prepared by AVEBIOM, and updated in September 2020, shows the location and data of 83 pellet, 61 chip and 25 olive stone factories inventoried in the last year in Spain. It also collects information from 59 pellet, chip and bone centers in Portugal, and from 32 pellet plants in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay.
Germany's pellet production in the first half of 2020 exceeds 1,5 million tonnes for the first time and the sale of pellet boilers grows by 150%.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, Germany produced more than 1,5 million tons of wood pellets in the first half of 2020, representing an increase of 13%, 173.000 tons than the first half of 2019. With in order to meet the increase in domestic demand driven by new pellet boiler installations.
