2 The European Pellet Conference, March 2005, Wels Production of Renewable Energy in Denmark 10.4 PJ (9.3%) from wood pellets Source: Danish Energy Authority, www.ens.dk 41 % from biomass

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

4 The European Pellet Conference, March 2005, Wels Heat production based on woodpellets - trends 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

5 The European Pellet Conference, March 2005, Wels Combined heat and power production based on pellets Source: ENERGI E2 Avedøre II CHP plant –300.000 tons wood pellets/year Trend: - Amounts are limited by political agreement 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

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