Canadian Wood Pellet Current Status
Most Canadian homes are heated by natural gas, with limited domestic demand, the Canadian wood
pellets market is driven almost entirely by foreign demand, especially the voracious demand from
Europe. At the same time, the wood pellets manufacturing industries are bringing enormous value
to the domestic forest sector.
By the beginning of 2013, Canada had 42 pellet plants with over 3 million tonnes of annual production
capacity. Pellet plants in the province of British Columbia, located in the western region of Canada,
account for about 65 percent of Canadian pellet capacity and production. Collectively, the provinces
of Alberta, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia account for 35 percent. It is estimated that 90
percent of Canadian pellets were exported to Europe.

Canada Wood Pellets Export Situation
As for 2013, North America exported wood pellets valued at over US$650 million. Of which, the expansion
of Canadian pellet export was less significantly than that of the U.S., but 2013 Canadian pellets export
volumes were still over 50 percent higher than in 2011.
In Canada, there have been two developments of wood pellets export. One is the first regular shipment of
wood pellets to South Korea started in the second half of 2013, the other one is the increase of pellets
export from Eastern Canada (Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) during the same time.
Eastern Canada will have additional wood pellets export volumes later in 2014 when the two pellet facilities
in Ontario start to operate.
