China PPI: Gas Production & Supply: Production and Supply of Biomass Gas data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by National Bureau of Statistics. The data is categorized under China Premium Database’s Inflation – Table CN.IE: Producer Price Index: Same Month PY=100.

The biomass industry plays a crucial role in the United States' renewable energy landscape. As a versatile and renewable resource, biomass feedstocks such as sawmill residuals, wood product manufacturing residuals, and roundwood offer a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Sawmill residuals command the highest price at 45.93 U.S. dollars per ton as of December 2024. This biomass feedstock reached it peak in 2024 in September with a price per ton of 49.33 U.S. dollars. By reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy, this not only helps in mitigating climate change but also provides economic benefits by creating jobs and stimulating rural economies where biomass resources are often sourced. Potential concerns of bioenergy Despite its benefits, the biomass industry faces several challenges and concerns. One major issue is the sustainability of biomass sourcing. Overharvesting of wood resources for biomass can lead to deforestation and loss of biodiversity, amongst other negative ecosystem impacts. There are also economic concerns; fluctuations in biomass feedstock prices can affect the viability of biomass energy projects, making them less competitive compared to other renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar, and wind. Moreover, the transportation and processing of biomass feedstocks can result in significant carbon emissions, potentially offsetting some of the environmental benefits of using biomass for energy. Policy influence on the U.S. biomass industry U.S. regulatory frameworks significantly influence the biomass industry, shaping its development, viability, and sustainability. Federal and state policies, such as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), promote the use of biomass as a renewable energy source. These policies often include incentives and subsidies for renewable energy production, encouraging investment and innovation within the bioenergy sector. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) also support research and development efforts, in order to improve biomass conversion technologies and enhance the efficiency of biomass feedstock use. However, such regulatory influence presents the opportunity for changes in policy associated with political cycles to create uncertainty for the biomass industry. As such, ensuring consistent and supportive policies is important to ensure that the biomass industry remains as a sustainable component of the U.S. energy portfolio.

In 2023, the import price of wood pellets from Canada to Japan amounted to 33.4 Japanese yen per kilogram. The average import price per kilogram stood at 30.4 yen in that year.

The Indonesian wood pellets market surged to $14M in 2024, increasing by 692% against the previous year. In general, consumption showed a significant increase. Over the period under review, the market reached the maximum level in 2024 and is expected to retain growth in the immediate term.

Sweden consumed an estimated 9.76 million metric tons of oil equivalent worth of biomass in 2023. This compared to a production volume of approximately 9.73 million metric tons of oil equivalent. The primary energy consumption and production figures have remained mostly stable in the past years.

In the observed period, weighted average monthly electricity prices on the day-ahead market in Poland increased from 163.95 zloty/MWh in January 2018 to over 500 zloty/MWh (117.77 EUR/MWh) in January 2025. The record weighted average price occurred in August 2022, exceeding 1,300 zloty. Consumption of electricity in Poland Electricity is essential to modern life and vital to every country’s economy. Starting from 1990, the final annual electricity consumption reached a value of 124.7 terawatt-hours. It eventually grew to 160 tWh in 2023, which happened to be a six percent decrease compared to the previous year. Consumption of solar photovoltaic power has become popular in recent years, but also the capacity of solar photovoltaic per inhabitant in Poland has significantly increased, rising from just 0.1 watts per inhabitant in 2013 to 464.1 W/inhab in 2023. In 2023, 18.5 million customers in Poland used electricity with consumption lower than 50 megawatt-hours. Electricity production from renewables Throughout the years, there have been different methods and sources of electricity production worldwide. Starting in 2012, the electricity production from solar photovoltaic power generated only 3.4 gigawatt-hours. In 2023, Poland's electricity production volume from solar photovoltaic power reached a peak of over 11 terawatt hours. Another source of electricity production was the wind. Where the production of electricity from wind steadily increased from five gigawatt-hours in 2000 to 23,234 gigawatt-hours in 2023. Biogas and biomass also play a significant role in the production of electricity. In 2012, electricity production from biogas and biomass was the highest at around 10,094 gigawatt-hours. However, in 2022, the production decreased, reaching 6,352 GWh.
