This post summarizes research from the January 2013 edition of Wood Bioenergy US (WBUS). Viable wood bioenergy projects can secure competitive financing. In U.S. capital markets, primary sources of financing for these projects include private equity, project finance, grants, loans and more…
Since January 2012, multiple wood bioenergy projects in the United States have opened, closed or advanced their move towards operational viability. However, the implications on potential wood use were insignificant. Total potential wood use from announced and operating projects decreased more…
When tracking wood demand and timber markets, we look not only to the past and to the future for guidance, but also to the side – peripherally – to gauge performance across markets and sectors. Heather Clark, our Customer Relations more…
As of October 30, 2011, Wood Bioenergy US includes 471 wood-consuming, announced and operating bioenergy projects in the continental US. In total, these projects represent potential, incremental wood use of 135.9 million green tons/year by 2021. Based on Forisk analysis, projects representing more…
What are the wood supply and timber market implications from emerging bioenergy demand? We just published a white paper on this topic commissioned by the National Alliance of Forest Owners (NAFO). The research was motivated by concerns about potential impacts more…
Earlier this year, the EPA deferred a final decision on how to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wood-using bioenergy facilities. Why? EPA wants to study further the research on carbon accounting and the carbon neutrality of biomass. (While clearly more…
