Policies that drive such an expansion have recently emerged from multiple sources, and more are likely to emerge in the future. These include laws and regulations in the U.S. that require renewable fuels in the electricity sector, possible stricter state and federal regulations (in the USA) requiring renewable fuels contents in energy production and limits in net carbon emissions from power plants, and policies in Europe (in particular, the European Union’s 2020 Climate and Energy Package) that drive demand for wood energy, notably pellets, for export that are produced in North America. No declines are projected specifically for Canada.
