✦ Synopsis

Large-scale implementation of wood pellets as a solid biomass fuel represents a change in the energy system that will have both economic and environmental consequences. This article represents a summary of a state of the art conference, which was organised in Sweden in September 2002. The aim was to bring together people to create a network where industry, research, other expertise and decision makers meet to build a strong pellet industry for the future. The sum of the economic, technological and environmental evidence presented at this conference weighs very heavily in favour of the pellet option.
