November last year, the biomass renewable energy exchange was introduced. The first contract listed on this exchange is an industrial wood pellets contract. Rotterdam was chosen for its proximity to key wood pellet consumers in Germany, its accessibility for US exporters, and the ambition of the port of Rotterdam to advance its status as an energy trading hub. Will the market players adopt this new exhange?

Kasper Walet has written a blog post about it: "APX-Endex Wood Pellet Exchange has cold start".
