Market Formation

As a forest landowner, you are probably wondering where the opportunities lie for establishing markets for bioenergy systems and biofuels in the near future? These questions will be answered in the following sections.

The context of new energy markets is conducive to the introduction of renewable energy options and the inclusion of users as important actors in the operation and development of energy systems. We have broadened the considerations on resource availability, technology choice, and reliability and are now asking questions about acceptability, cost return, and profitability. More attention to the users is necessary in a competitive market thus hopefully also resulting in better service provision. In addition, legislation and policy incentives that encourage developing bioenergy markets are important.
