(TOKYO, March 21, 2017 PRNewswire=연합뉴스) Japan and South Korea's strong buying demand for wood pellets to feed its existing and new biomass power capacities coming on-stream have led to increase in spot wood pellet [http://www.cmtevents.com/aboutevent.aspx?ev=170501&pu=270957 ] prices and sellers vying for a share of these markets. Aptly, the Tokyo summit calls on Japan's key biomass producers -- IPP eRex, that is expected to purchase 300,000 tons of palm shells and biofuel this year, to discuss its expectations on biomass requirements and Sumitomo Corporation, that has an upcoming 50MW biomass plant, to share about Japan's demand and imports of wood pellets, wood chips and PKS.

Addressing South Korea's biomass power market is Hanyang Corporation while opportunities in mainland China and Taiwan are provided by China Renewable Energy Industry Association and Indufor.

Stakeholders from the biomass sellers' side at the summit are -- PKS trader Asia Resource Partners, Thailand's BioPellets, Canada's wood pellet producer/distributor Pinnacle Renewable Energy, USA's Enviva, Baltics' Graanul Invest as well as Australia's Altus Renewables -- with many of them expected to join a 'Global Wood Pellet Producers Panel' discussing top wood pellet supply regions of 2016 and insights into pellet pricing. Even more interesting are discussions on 'sustainable pellet supplies [http://www.cmtevents.com/aboutevent.aspx?ev=170501&pu=270957 ] to Asian markets' as well as pellet pricing competition between North America, Russia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand. Other speakers at the summit are IHI Corporation, Hawkins Wright, Malaysia Biomass Industries Confederation, Ata Marie Group, Fuji Biomass Energy, US Industrial Pellet Association (USIPA), Voyage Power Fuji Keizai and Argus Media.
