Canadian Wood Pellets at the Forefront of Asia’s Energy Transition

This past May, the Wood Pellet Association of Canada (WPAC) team participated in the 2025 BioInnovAsia Conference in Tokyo, a major gathering of international biomass stakeholders that continues to grow in scale and influence. The event underscored the shifting landscape—one where biomass is gaining recognition not only as a renewable energy source, but as a vital tool in decarbonizing some of the world’s toughest sectors.

The conference featured two parallel tracks—Biofuels & Biocarbon Asia and Biomass Pellet Trade Asia—and drew strong participation from Japan, South Korea, and across the region. Attendees included power producers, industrial buyers, project developers, and policymakers, all with a shared interest in how sustainable biomass can help meet energy security and climate goals.

For WPAC and the broader Canadian pellet sector, the event was a great opportunity to reinforce Canada’s reputation as a trusted supplier of low-emission, high-quality pellets from responsibly managed, third-party certified sources.  It also offered critical insights into where the market is headed, and how we must evolve to stay ahead.
