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
