Additional report details

For organisations operating in the bioenergy industry, the disparate regulatory frameworks and fragmented individual markets can be difficult to penetrate. Rather than simply reporting the news at face value, we investigate the implications for the wider market of each new development. Forest Energy Monitor provides a well-informed, but digestible, overview of recent market developments.

Each monthly issue of Forest Energy Monitor addresses key topics in the market. The market data sections in Forest Energy Monitor provide subscribers with unique insights into the economics of the bioenergy industry. Every month the following data series are tracked and published in Forest Energy Monitor:

  • Biomass prices (industrial/utility/heating pellets, wood chips, energy wood)
  • Wood fibre prices 
  • Wood pellet trade statistics
  • Heating oil prices and pellet v. oil price differentials
  • Heating degree data
  • Power generation economics (clean dark, clean spark and bark spreads)
  • Coal, oil, natural gas and carbon prices
  • The pipeline of new industrial wood pellet mills
  • The pipeline of new biomass power/CHP plants
