    Korea Wood Pellet Industry started as a public offering business for wood pellet manufacturing facilities by the Korea Forest Service in 2008, and it has been developed in accordance with forest policies such as the supply of wood pellet boilers and the increase in the weight for REC (Renewable Energy Certificates) of ‘Unused Forest Biomass’. Accordingly, we researched into the production trend of domestic wood pellet by changes to policy of wood pellet industry to examine this industry and draw any important implications.

    The production of domestic wood pellet had increased from 8,527 tons in 2009 to 67,446 tons in 2017 as a source of heat energy. This is attributed to the increased demand for home use of wood pellets by the supply of wood pellet boiler from the Korea Forest Service.

    The production of domestic wood pellet increased to 187,745 tons as a large – scale of manufacturing facilities for wood pellet production were established along with the increase in the weight for REC(Renewable Energy Certificates) of ‘Unused Forest Biomass’ in 2018, and the production of 2020 reached 331,202 tons.

    At power generation companies, 139,200 tons of domestic wood pellet was used in 2019 and 299,492 tons in 2020 respectively. The 299,492 tons of domestic wood pellet used in 2020 substitutes 181,088 tons of bituminous coal, and the amount of carbon dioxide reduction amounts to 443,248tCO2-eq

    As the use of wood pellet for power generation purposes has drastically increased, it is required to develop stable infrastructure for production and establish a transparent distribution network. Keywords: Climate change ID: 3623092

    The increasing demand for pulp, paper and panel products and a shrinking forest resource base in India has recently led to the expanded exploitation of alternative fibre sources such as bagasse, straw and recycled material. This report captures these developments and makes an attempt to foresee the scenario to the year 2010.
