The Russian Pellet Union has become a member of Bioenergy Europe and the European Pellet Council.
Bioenergy Europe (formerly known as AEBIOM) is the voice of European bioenergy. It aims to develop a sustainable bioenergy market based on fair business conditions. Founded in 1990, Bioenergy Europe is a non-profit, Brussels-based international organization bringing together more than 40 associations and 90 companies, as well as academia and research institutes from across Europe.
European Pellet Council was founded in 2010 and its members are national pellet associations and related organizations from 18 countries. EPC addresses the challenges associated with the development of the European pellet sector, as a major energy commodity. These issues include the standardization and certification of pellet quality (the EPC manages the certification system ENplus), and sustainability, as also work-safety, security of demand and supply, education and training, and the installations using pellets.
