Biofuel demand expected to increase in Lithuania this year

The number of Lithuania’s cities and towns getting ready to fire biofuel is constantly growing and the suppliers estimate that its demand will be at least 1.5 times larger next season compared with a year before, the Lietuvos Rytas daily reports.

Panevėžys, Klaipėda, Kaunas, Šiauliai, Alytus, and Visaginas will generate more heat from biofuel next season than ever before.

“We will need 1.5 times more raw materials than last year. Such a surge has no precedents in the market,” Egidijus Gaidamavičius, biofuel development director at Timbex, told the daily.

The Association of Lithuania’s Heat Suppliers guess that biofuel consumption will increase by 30 percent during the upcoming season.
