제 2회 아시아 바이오매스 펠릿 트레이드

"Gear up for Asia's Growing Biomass Demand for PowerGeneration"

"Global Buyers & Asia Sellers Meet!"

"Pellets Coming to Asia"

"South Korean assembly approves renewable energy bill... dubbed Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and submitted in late 2008, to require 14 state-run and private power utilities to boost supplies of renewable energy starting in 2012, according to a statemeng from the ministry of knowledge economy"
~ Reuters, 18 March 2010

According to Poyry, biomass is the only renewable energy source that is tradable and as policy incentives are getting stronger the biomass markets are growing.

In 2010, the global pellet market size was around 16 million tonnes whereas the production capacity totalled 31 million tonnes per annum, mainly concentrated to Europe (19 million tpa.) and North America (8 million tpa.). The strong driver for both regions is the European emission trading scheme, which incentivise European energy utilities to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing incentives are expected to make the market grow to 46 million tonnes in 2020 (CAGR ~11%), representing a market value of almost USD 8 billion.

While Asia is emerging with key contribution to this growth, the questions prevails on the sustainability of supply of biomass, indigenous agricultural and forestry waste or internationally tradable woody and agro biomass such as wood pellets, wood chips, palm kernel shells, rice husk and etc. Warranted by its Renewable Portfolio Standards, wood pellets suppliers from the West are looking towards East, South Korea and Japan, for exports opportunities. Palm kernel shells (PKS), favored for its high energy/calorific values, and rice husks, are also sought after by North Asian power utilities and industrial plants. Thus, with economically viable policy and incentives, will South Korea and Japan set to drive demand for biomass up?

CMT's 2nd Biomass Pellets Trade Asia is calling for all participants in the value chain of the "biomass to power generation" to Seoul this September to make this "Global Buyers & Asia Sellers Meet" happen.

Also, the conference presents the 2nd edition of the post conference workshop on Torrefaction Technologies and Economics. Facilitated by commercial and technology experts in this field, this half-day workshop will make exclusive focus on the economics, processes, specification and handling of converting agro-biomass into torrefied materials and pellets.

Be at this exciting event and make trade happen. CMT's 2nd Biomass Pellets Trade Asia offers extensive business-matching and networking opportunities with Asian and global stakeholders in one venue!

Biomass Pellets Trade Asia aims to provide first-hand insights on the demand dynamics in North Asia, supply outlook and investment opportunity in this value chain. Discussion will be focused to address the following issues:

• South Korea and North Asia's Growth in biomass-based power generation & industrial cogeneration (CHP)
• Influence of energy policy on demand/supply on biomass (Agricutural/Forestry Biomass, Wood Pellets, Wood Chips, etc)
• Supply dynamics & usability of Agro biomass (Palm Kernel Shells (PKS), Rice Husk, etc) from South East Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc)
• Competitive advantage of global wood pellet supply (US, Europe & Australia) to North Asia
• Operational experience in biomass to power & cogeneratioin
• Issues with sustainability & certification & impact on global trade
• Key considerations in investment & setting up biomass supply facility
• Storage & handling of Wood Pellets & Agro-Biomass
• Updates on biomass pretreatment technologies (Pelletizing, Torrefactions, etc)
