export value. Wood pellets are made from compressed sawdust and have a greater combustion efficiency than wood logs, making them a highly desirable biofuel.
Over 28 million metric tons of wood pellets were exported worldwide in 2020. This figure represents a peak in the period of consideration, and translated into roughly 4.4 billion U.S. dollars in Export and import volume of wood pellets worldwide from 2012 to 2020 (in million metric tons)*
