The map of several big pellet produces which export about 70% of pellets
Arkaim from Far East exports to S.Korea. Some North-West companies tried to export pellets in containers from North-West harbors to South Korea bu it was stopped due to political sanctions consequences as lack of free containers SK
NORTH-WEST: Archangelsk, Leningrad, Nivgorod and etc
Siberia (Krasnojarsk and Irkutsk), EU
Far East, Khabarovsk, 1 plant
Pellet plants export to Europe to Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Italy mostly from North-West. Even Siberian companies export from NW SK

7. The Russian pellet production is developing
Presentation title
The Russian pellet production is developing
Several new plants with annual pellet production capacity from till tons are opened in Irkutsk region in last years
The goal of Irkutsk region is to produce tons per year of pellets
The new big pellet producers started pellet production in Archangelsk region (North-West of Russia)
The goal of Archangelsk region is to produce tons per year of pellets.
Russian annual export is about tons of pellets to the European Union and it increases for 10-15% annually
South Korean market is the second but not as big as EU market for Russian producers.

Main points 2019
Analysts are expected the further growth of the pellet industry in Russia due to the following support measures (the government supports export and doesn’t support domestic consumption): 1) The government will continue to support pellet exporters by compensating 80% of the cost of transporting pellets for export. (However, the volume of compensation was changed from ¼ to 1/14 where one is the total price of the product and 14 (former 4) is the transportation costs in % could be received if the transport costs are only 1/14 from the price. If the transport costs are higher than 80% is calculated according to the ration one to fourteen. Thus, the Russian pellet producer can receive 80% from 1/14 from the final price even if the transportation costs are higher than 1/14 from the price). 2) Strict measures are introduced for the disposal of wood waste. Regional governments prohibit their storage and impose high fines. The owners of these wastes are forced to produce goods out of this waste as pellets. Pellets are more profitable because briquette export is not supported by government and the local consumption is limited.

3) Due to the previous facts, it is expected to establish pellet production at almost all large woodworking and forestry enterprises. 4) The pellet consumption in Europe is growing, coal mines are closing. The EU is moving away from fossil fuels, introducing strict emission control measures (and the burning of pellets is considered CO2-neutral), so the energy concerns of Europe (and several Asian countries) are forced to move away from coal. The easiest way to replace coal is to use wood pellets because this product is similar in quality characteristics to coal. 5) More than 95% of produced pellets are exported from Russia to Europe and South Korea. Only small amount of pellets is used in rich private houses in some regions where pellet boilers are installed. Some regions as Archangelsk and Komi have several municipal pellet boilers but the pellet consumption is very small there. The growth of pellet production will be continued in Russia in The yield of marketable products in harvested wood is only 74% in Russia, while the same figure is % in the world.
