Taiwan aims to expand use of renewable energy to 20 percent by 2025. Developing renewable energy is the most important implementation component to reach the goal and wood pellets is a green energy resource option being considered by Taiwan. Lacking local forest product supplies, Taiwan is expected to import a significant portion of wood pellet to meet their new green energy production goals. Taiwan authorities’ commitment to generate sustainable bioenergy by burning wood pellets should translate into a 300 million USD wood pellet trade opportunity.
