The total amount of pellets produced in Germany from January to June 2016 reached 889,600 tonnes, which is 90,000 tonnes less (or 9,18%) than in the same period of 2015. Almost all the pellets produced met the quality classes ENplus A1/A2.
The main raw materials were wood residues (94%) and softwood (98%). The reason for the decline in production is mostly due to weather conditions, because of the mild 2015/2016 winter.
