The U.S. exported 424,680.5 tons of wood pellets in April, according to data released by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service on June 6. Exports volumes were down from both the prior month and the same period of the previous year.

美国农业部数据显示，美国4月份出口424,680.5吨木屑颗粒，低于3月出口610,554.3吨和2018年4月出口518,022.5吨。

USDA data shows the U.S. exported 424,680.5 tons of wood pellets in April, down from 610,554.3 tons exported in March and 518,022.5 tons exported in April 2018.

2019年前四个月的木屑颗粒总出口量达到192万吨，高于2018年同期出口的174万吨木屑颗粒。

Total wood pellet exports for the first four months of 2019 reached 1.92 million tons, up from the 1.74 million tons of wood pellets exported during the same period of 2018.

4月份，美国向十几个国家出口木屑颗粒。 英国是本月木屑颗粒的首选目的地，352,404.5吨，其次是比利时 - 卢森堡56,671.3吨，法属西印度群岛11,000.8吨，荷兰1,869.6吨，意大利1,486.4吨。4月份美国仅向日本出口了18.1吨木屑颗粒。

英国可再生能源协会发布了其第二部分以工业为主导的生物能源战略，报告说生物能源可以满足英国第五次碳预算缺口和即将到来的核差距。

The U.K. Renewable Energy Association has released the second installment of its industry-led Bioenergy Strategy, reporting that bioenergy can meeting the U.K.’s projected shortfall of the 5th Carbon Budget and the impending nuclear gap.

根据该报告，生物能源已经满足了英国能源需求的7.4％。 据分析显示，到2032年，英国的生物能源产量可以增加2.5倍，并且必须满足英国的法律约束力碳预算，并在2050年之前实现“净零排放”。

According to the report, bioenergy already meets 7.4 percent of the U.K.’s energy needs. The REA’s analysis shows that bioenergy production can be increased by a factor of 2.5 in the U.K. by 2032 and will be “required to meet the U.K.’s legally binding carbon budgets and realize ‘Net-Zero’ by 2050.”

英国可再生能源协会的分析显示，在电力、供热和交通部门增加生物能源的部署，可以解决气候变化委员会具有法律约束力的第五次碳预算所需的碳减排缺口的三分之二。

The REA determined that this increased deployment of bioenergy across the power, heat and transportation sectors could address two-thirds of the projected shortfall in carbon reductions required to meet the Committee on Climate Change’s legally binding 5th Carbon Budget.

报告摘要指出：“假设政府遵循气候变化框架公约的建议，即英国应该在2050年之前设定净零排放目标，实现这一愿景表明生物能源将成为其实现的必要条件”。

“Assuming the government follows the CCC’s recommendation that the U.K. should set a net zero emission target by 2050, this vision demonstrates that bioenergy will be necessary for its attainment,” the REA said in a summary of the report.

英国可再生能源协会还发现，生物质能源作为一种低碳、可调度的电力来源，提供了另一种可替代核能的途径，并可以填补因搁置的核项目而造成的72太瓦时(TWh)的“核缺口”。

The REA also found that bioenergy for power generation provides an alternative go nuclear power as a low-carbon, dispatchable source of electricity and cold close the predicted “nuclear gap” of 72 terawatt hours (TWh) caused by shelved nuclear projects.

总体而言，英国可再生能源协会的报告显示，2020年至2026年间生物能源可能增长60％以上，到2032年将增长2.5倍。生物能源在最终能源需求中的总份额可能会从2020年的5.5％增加到2026年的9.5％，到2032年将近15％。

Overall, the REA’s report shows bioenergy could increase by more than 60 percent between 2020 and 2026, and by a factor of 2.5 by 2032. The overall share of bioenergy in final energy demand could increase from 5.5 percent in 2020 to 9.5 percent in 2026 and nearly 15 percent in 2032.

“As countries continue to look to replace coal with renewable alternatives, we expect the demand for wood biomass to continue to grow. Enviva’s stakeholders can have confidence that all of the wood we use in our operations meets the highest international sustainability sourcing standards.”

在美国（US），可再生能源服务公司Green Energy Sustainable Solutions，Inc（GESS）已宣布向爱达荷州投资2.4亿美元。 该公司将在爱达荷州伯利附近建设6个厌氧消化池（AD）设施，每个沼气池总计4000万美元，并使其成为该公司在美国的第一批沼气厂。

In the United States (US), renewable energy services company Green Energy Sustainable Solutions, Inc. (GESS) has announced a US$240 million investment in Cassia County, Idaho. The company will build six anaerobic digester (AD) facilities near Burley, Idaho, totaling US$40 million for each digester and making it a part of the company’s first tranche biogas plants in the United States.

厌氧消化池设施将利用17万吨奶牛粪和来自当地农民的8万吨农业残余物来生产价值550 000 MMbtu的可再生天然气（RNG）。 GESS计划于2019年底开始建设，并于2020年底开始运营。沼气厂将位于爱达荷州的几个奶牛饲养场。

The anaerobic digester facilities will utilize 170 000 tons of dairy cattle manure and 80 000 tons of agricultural residues per plant from area farmers to produce 550 000 MMbtu worth of renewable natural gas (RNG). GESS plans to begin construction in late 2019 and begin operations by late 2020. The biogas plants will be located on several dairy cattle feedlots in Cassia County, Idaho.

该项目将为该地区带来近100个工作岗位，每个工厂至少有16个新的全职工作岗位。这些工作将包括卡车司机、运输经理、库存经理、机械工程师、工厂经理和工厂工人。沼气厂将一年365天，每周7天，每天24小时运营。

The project will bring nearly 100 jobs to the region, a minimum of 16 new full-time jobs per plant. The jobs will include truck drivers, transportation managers, inventory managers, mechanical engineers, plant managers, and plant laborers. The biogas plants will operate 24/7, 365 days a year.
