ABSTRACT – The following paper presents some of the conclusions from the Pellets for Europe on-going project, supported in the framework of the EC ALTENER Programme. The overall objective of this European project is to draw an accurate picture of market opportunities for wood- and agri-pellets (i.e. pellets made from agricultural residues) in Italy, Spain and Greece, while also providing a general overview on pellets market potential in the other European Countries. On the basis of the information gathered (market potential size, actors involved, usual practices), it will be possible to identify the main barriers - technical or not - and to design relevant strategies so as to overcome those
