CONCLUSIONS The demand of biomass fuels could increase more rapidly than the supply It is not likely that the supply of by-products from forest industry would increase The increased demand should be covered by the increased production of forest chips, agrobiomass and biogenic wastes Paying ability of energy producers will increase Pellet production increases, oil is replaced with pellets Other sectors, like transport and forest industry, would compete with the energy sector from the biomass raw material Due to the higher bioenergy supports in other European countries, part of Finnish biomass could be exported Peat would be needed in the future also to ensure the fuel supply and to lower the price risk
