  3. Danish consumption of wood pellets 1990-2003 (2005) The European Pellet Conference, March 2005, Wels Source: Danish Energy Authority, www.ens.dk

  4. 25-30.000 residential pellet boilers and stoves Boom ed in the end of the of the 90:s, due to high oil prices and investment support from the government The boom declined in 2002 due to a sudden steep increase in the prices of pellets as well as the cancellation of the investment support (nov 2001) Currently slowly increases again, due to increasing oil price • ~ 300 pellet block heating plants • Gas and district heat are preferred • Main market is thus replacement of old oil burner outside gas and district heating nets • ~30 pellet fired district heating plants • Remains from converted coal fired plants in 1990 • No new plants based only on pellets • Due to high pellet prices, plants are rather converted to multifuel burners using other cheaper biomass fuels Heat production based on woodpellets- trends The European Pellet Conference, March 2005, Wels

  5. Source: ENERGI E2 Avedøre II CHP plant 300.000 tons wood pellets/year Combined heat and power production based on pellets • Amager CHP plant • 150.000 tons straw pellets/year • New pellet production at Køge • 180.000 tons wood pellets/year • 150.000 tons straw pellets/year • Transported by ship Trend: - Amounts are limited by political agreement The European Pellet Conference, March 2005, Wels

  6. Danish pellet supply 1990 – 2003 (2005) • Trends: • Import exceeds production since 2001 • Increasing import from east(Baltic, Russia, Poland) • Decreasing import from North America due to high transport costs The European Pellet Conference, March 2005, Wels Source: Danish Energy Authority, www.ens.dk
