According to the Biomass Price Indices (IPB) compiled quarterly by AVEBIOM, the average cost of energy for the end consumer in June 2025 stood at 3.34 c€/kWh for wood chips; 4.68 c€/kWh for olive pits y 6.95 c€/kWh for bulk pellets.
In comparison, the Diesel C reached 7.98 c€/kWh, he natural gas (regulated tariff TUR 2) the 8.59 c€/kWh, and the electricity used for heating by heat pump (SCOP 2.5) hovered 10.43 c€/kWh useful.
The data from the first half of the year show a remarkable stability in the biomass marketPellet prices have fallen by 2.%, bone prices by 12.%, and wood chip prices have remained unchanged.
This normalization contrasts with the behavior of gas and diesel, which, despite falling slightly during the spring, could rebound in winter if demand increases or the cost of CO₂ emission allowances rises. that companies pay for burning gas or diesel. Electricity costs for heating remain high: although the wholesale price has fallen, the tolls and taxes that make up the bill prevent a significant reduction for the end user.
Everything indicates that Solid biofuels will maintain stable prices over the next few months. Although there is an upside risk—due to higher transport costs or a temporary surge in consumption—domestic supply is ample and production is well aligned with demand. The combination of local supply and long-term contracts provides price predictability that is currently exceptional in the energy sector.
The strength of the Spanish solid biomass market lies in a decentralized production structure with good implementation of certifications. They currently operate more than 60 pellet factories Distributed throughout the country, along with dozens of olive chip and pit production centers. This territorial distribution allows supply the demand locally, reducing logistics costs and dependence on imports.
Furthermore, a A high proportion of domestic production is certified under the schemes INplus®, BIOmasud® y SURE, which they assure quality, traceability and sustainability throughout the entire chain: from the origin of the raw materials to the supply to the end user. Spain is one of the European countries with larger volume of certified pellets.
This model, based on local resources, specialized companies, and prestigious certifications, provides security, stability and resilience in the face of fluctuations affecting imported fossil fuels.
For Europe, let us remember, the decarbonization of heat is a priority objective; in this area, solid biofuels offer a combination of economy and energy sovereignty hard to match.
While gas, diesel, and electricity prices depend on external factors, the price of biomass responds to a local and sustainable value chain. Therefore, by mid-2025, solid biomass is the The most economical option for heating homes, industries, and public buildings, and also the most consistent with the climate and energy objectives of the European Union.
