RISI, the leading information provider for the global forest products industry, today announced the merger of International Woodfiber Report with Wood Biomass Market Report. The new publication is titled North American Woodfiber & Biomass Markets. It will provide news, in-depth market stories and prices for woodfiber and biomass.
"Developments in woodfiber markets affect biomass prices and vice versa," said Matt Graves, Senior Vice President of Indices at RISI. "We have combined the two publications to present a more holistic view of the market to our clients."
"We cannot continue to separate the incredible pace of change in biomass energy markets from the rest of the woodfiber industry," added Chris Lyddan, Executive Editor, North American Woodfiber & Biomass Markets. "Buyers and sellers of woodfiber and biomass feedstock will benefit tremendously from reading analyses of both markets side by side."
The first issue of the North American Woodfiber & Biomass Markets will be published on January 15th, 2015. Regular features in the monthly newsletter will include:
