Production capacity grows: 2.6 million tons of wood pellets to be produced in Germany
Pforzheim - There is an increasing number of wood pellet manufacturers in Germany. According to current statistics from the organizer of the Interpellets 2008 trade fair and the 8th Pellets Industry Forum, Solar Promotion GmbH, 48 companies will produce modern wood pellet fuel at 55 sites this year. The total production capacity of the plants amounts to 2.6 million tons per year. The largest production plants have fabrication machinery capable of manufacturing more than 100,000 tons of wood pellets per year. "Only a few years ago this was the total output of all the producers put together," emphasized Barbara Pilz, project manager of the 8th Pellets Industry Forum. The international trade conference takes place at the International Congress Centre in Stuttgart from October 28-29. It addresses current market issues and developments, and offers pellet industry decision-makers a platform for discussion. The trade fair Interpellets 2008, which takes place from October 29-31 at New Trade Fair Centre Stuttgart as well, also serves as a meeting place for the international pellet industry.
This year, the wood pellets production capacity in Germany will rise to a planned 2.6 million tons. This is supported by current statistics from Solar Promotion GmbH. Last year the capacity was still only around 2 million tons. At that time, 36 pellet companies produced wood pellet fuel in 48 locations. Today, 48 wood pellet manufacturers are active in a total of 55 locations. According to the estimates of pellet manufacturers, around 2.2 million tons of wood pellets will be produced this year; twice as many as in 2007.
Pellets industry manufacturers, dealers and suppliers will present their products, services and technical solutions at the Interpellets 2008 trade fair. New markets such as large-scale industrial plants for wood pellets and innovations in production technology are popular subject areas, which will find a platform at the Interpellets trade fair taking place at New Trade Fair Centre Stuttgart, Germany from October 29-31.
