Abstract

The aim of this study is to facilitate the development of international biomass market. The paper identifies and highlights main producers and consumers as well as exporters and importers of liquid and solid biofuels and its volumes. Solid and liquid biofuels that are under consideration were industrial roundwood, wood chips and particles, fuel wood, wood pellets, biodiesel and bio-ethanol. This work contributes to understanding the global market of energy biomass until 2015. The study further demonstrates that bioenergy global markets are increasing, for example large progress was done in wood pellets markets.
