OMNI Features｜First Decline in EU Wood Pellet Sales in 2023．Korean Cable Manufacturer Taihan Launches Korea's First Offshore Wind CLV "Palos"．German Company Neuruppin Completes Its First 500-Meter Geothermal Drilling Project
According to a report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the EU's consumption of wood pellets decreased by 1.2% last year, reaching 24.5 million metric tons. This marks the first decline since 2015. The primary reasons for this decrease are the mild winter and reduced demand from the commercial power sector. The current low prices, combined with government incentives, are expected to support the widespread use of biomass for residential heating in 2024. It is anticipated that demand from the industrial power sector will remain stagnant this year.

OMNI Features｜South Korea Poised to Become Reactor Supplier for Multiple Countries．Scientists Warn of the Impact of Climate Change Accelerating Annual Surface Temperature in Russia．AI and Green Energy Drive Expansion of Investments in Taiwan by Three Companies
South Korea is set to fulfill its ambition of exporting nuclear power technology and becoming a reactor supplier for several countries. State-owned Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP) was selected last week to build 2 multibillion-dollar reactors in the Czech Republic, surpassing its competitors. Once finalized, this project could position South Korea to build reactors in Europe. KHNP is also conducting a feasibility study for a nuclear plant in the Netherlands, while Sweden's Vattenfall AB is considering using Korean technology. Additionally, South Korea is in talks to supply reactors to the U.K., Poland, and other nations, putting it on track to achieve the government's goal of exporting ten units by 2030.
