Use of Wood Fuel

• Production of wood energy combines silviculture, wood production, energy production and environmental aspects• Conforms to sustainable development (ecological, economical and social)

• Supports local employment• Covers wood energy chain from domestic use to industrial energy production• Development of technology promotes increase of wood energy utilisation• Large differences between countries in utilisation possibilities and ways

Important Innovations related to Wood Energy Production
