“…Dwivedi et al ., for example, found generation of UK bioelectricity from US pine pellets to represent a life cycle emissions reduction of between 50% and 68%. Similarly, Wang et al . found forest biomass pellets to offer a 74% life cycle GHG emission reduction when they replace coal in UK power generation.…”

“…In 2014, US wood pellet production was estimated at 6.9 million metric tonnes (MMT) – an increase of about 21% from 2013 . Of this material, about 4.7 MMT was exported, 98% of which was from the US South region . Pellet exports from the USA to the EU have increased 8‐fold since 2008, though pellet production still only represents about 2% of total harvest removal in the Southeast region .…”

“…Also, the GHG balances of the combustion companion markets alone, as covered in the transition dynamics in this analysis, have been studied extensively in the past. Assessments of similar supply chains covering the same forest biomass fractions from US southeastern forests, processed into wood pellets and transported to and used for instance in European combustion units have generally shown to provide net GHG benefits (Dwivedi et al, 2014;Jonker et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2015;Hanssen et al, 2017). The individual results depend on methodology and metric choices as well as framework assumptions; with most variability being introduced through differences in assumptions about the counterfactual scenario, that is, the reference system without bioenergy (Lamers & Junginger, 2013).…”

“…Exports of wood pellets from the United States (US) have grown from close to zero in 2008 (Dale, Parish, Kline, & Tobin, 2017) to 4.7 Mt per annum in 2016 (Copley & Lang, 2017). Of all exported pellets from the United States, about 98% is produced in the eastern United States (Wang, Dwivedi, Abt, & Khanna, 2015). The wood pellet producing sector in the United States is largely driven by demand from the European Union (EU) (Abt, Abt, Galik, & Skog, 2014;Joudrey, McDow, Smith, & Larson, 2012), which is in turn determined by policies within the EU member states (Abt et al, 2014).…”
