Earlier Report Observations

The market for fuel wood in chips and particles in the Americas showed considerable volatility between 2018 and 2023. Market volume declined from 49 984 thousand tons in 2018 to a low of 47 554 thousand tons in 2020, then expanded significantly to 54 945 thousand tons in 2022 before contracting sharply to 44 439 thousand tons in 2023.

For 2024, available trade data indicates exports of 4 888 thousand tons and imports of 18 thousand tons. The market landscape is shaped by the U.S. Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP), which offers financial assistance for woody biomass feedstocks, and by forest management policies that promote the use of residues to mitigate wildfire fuel loads. Furthermore, the competitiveness of biomass is affected by fluctuations in natural gas and coal prices, influencing demand for fuel-grade wood chips.
