Industrial wood pellets are trading at an all-time high.

EcoCrops International reports that Industrial wood pellets, as opposed to domestic wood pellets, are currently trading at an all-time high.  With the Argus 90 day Industrial wood pellet index trading at US$210 per tonne, up strongly from July 2018 where they were trading at US$175. The steep increase in prices is primarily driven by higher demand from European Power Stations.  Such as new power station coming online in the Netherland, Belgium, and Italy.  And existing Power stations such as the huge UK Drax power station burning more wood pellets and burning less coal. This trend is set to increase due to a number of factors: The EU climate change targets for reducing its greenhouse emissions, transforming the EU carbon-based fuel (coal) police towards a low carbon economy by 2050.  With targets for the reductions of greenhouse emissions is set for 2020 and 2030. Germany’s plant to phase out all coal power stations by 2038.  And the increased effici...

China preparing solar farms in Space

Ecocrops internationa l reports that the Stations would orbit 22,000 miles from Earth and would weigh over 1,000 tons, that is 600 tons more than the International Space Station.  They plan to deploy small and medium stations between 2021 and 2025 and a megawatt level satellite in 2030. Space-based solar power has two major advantages over Earth-based solar power:  due to the orbit they can collect energy 24 hours a day, and they collect more energy as the sunlight is not filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere. Under the plans, huge satellites would be put into orbit to collect the sunlight with huge solar rays.  Once the energy is collected it would be sent back to receiving stations on earth as microwaves.  On Earth, these microwaves would be converted to electricity and fed into the grid. Due to the huge size of the satellites, the Chinese are proposing to fabricate with 3D printer technology and then assemble in the Earth orbit with robots. Pang Zhihao, a re...

Trumps biomass policy

In 2007 the USA Federal Government passed the US Renewable Fuel Standard which required ethanol blending with domestic oil in large quantities with frequent increases in amounts of ethanol being used.  The bill was passed to reduce the USA carbon footprint and increase the amount of renewable biofuel being used in the USA. Under the Trump administrations, they have been far less supportive of the biomass blending mandate, granting biofuel waivers to major industry players and allowing the trading of biomass credits to develop. Despite the less than active support for biofuel domestically Trump has been pushing his trade negotiators to get big concessions from his Chinese counterparts by asking them to lower their tariffs on biomass in particular biofuel. China's ethanol demand is expected to grow nearly sevenfold as the country prepares to introduce E10 fuel throughout the country next year. E10 fuel is a fuel using 10% ethanol and 90% petrol. U.S. trade negotiato...
