United Kingdom: Wood Pellets Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   UK2024-0033
The United Kingdom (UK) is the largest consumer of wood pellets, globally. UK wood pellet regulations have not significantly diverged from the European Union (EU) following Brexit. Consequently, any recent changes in UK regulations have not significantly impacted the stability of the global wood pellet market. Wood pellets in the UK are principally used as a feedstock for the biomass energy sector, which accounts for over 7 percent of total energy usage in the country. In 2024, the UK wood pellet market expanded with total wood pellet imports expected to reach historically high volumes.
