Emphasis on Application (Heat, Combined Heat Power (CHP), Power); End-User (Residential, Commercial, Industrial); Region/Country
The Middle East wood pellet market was stood at $2.5 million in 2020 and is likely to showcase double digit growth during the forecast period (2021-2027). Government in the Middle East countries are working on various regulations implementing clean energy sources. For instance, in Dubai, the Supreme Council of Energy announced an implementation plan for the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 to enhance the sustainable development of Dubai, a year after the launch of the national strategy by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and ruler of Dubai. In May 2020, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) announced that the share of clean energy in Dubai’s energy mix had increased to around 9%. This exceeds the target set in the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which aimed to provide 7% of Dubai’s total power output from clean energy sources by 2020 and 75% by 2050. DEWA’s total installed capacity is 11,700 megawatts (MW) of electricity.
Moreover, as per Energy Outlook, the global carbon dioxide emissions are projected to rise by 29% in 2035, with all the growth coming from the emerging economies. This can have severe effect on the environment and can be reduced with the adoption of cleaner sources such as wood pellets for heat energy
Furthermore, the increasing population and rapid urbanization has been significantly increasing the energy consumption in middle east region countries. According to the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) the population of the Middle East will increase from 484 million in 2018 to 581 million in 2030 and 724 million in 2050. Between 2018 and 2030, the population is forecast rise by almost 1.7% annually and between 2030 and 2050 by just over 1.2% annually.
