Wood Pellet Technology Roadmap

This paper presents a technology roadmap for the wood pellet industry in the Pacific Northwest U.S. The roadmap was developed for the Oregon Wood Innovation Center (OWIC), College of Forestry, Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvalis, OR. The researchers apply technology roadmapping to a bio-fuel called wood pellet using both qualitative and semiquantitative tools which resulted in a roadmap including market drivers, product, technology, knowledge, and partners.
