A drop in demand for woody biomass in the US reduced <\/b>biomass prices in the South, Northeast and the West during the 2Q\/12, reports the “North American Wood Fiber Review”.
\nhe main reason for the declining prices is the continued fall of natural gas prices to levels not seen in ten years.
\nPrices for woody biomass in the US, whether sawmill by-products, forest residues or urban wood waste, have been sliding for most of the past three years, but were still higher late in 2011 in most regions than they were five years ago.
\nIn the 2Q\/12, woody biomass prices were down between 2-10 percent in the key biomass-consuming regions, the US South, Northeast and in the West as compared to the 1Q\/12. In the US Northwest and California there continues to be a substantial price discrepancy between mill biomass and forest biomass, but this price difference is minimal in the US South.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
