Description:
Fuelwood and charcoal from forests
have long provided energy for
heating, cooking and industry. Almost
90 per cent of the wood harvested in
Africa, and 40 per cent in Asia and the
Pacific, is used for fuel (FAO 2006a). Wood pellets, typically produced in
North America and Europe from sawdust
and other timber by-products,
are increasingly used in stoves, boilers
and power stations (Peksa-Blanchard
et al. 2007)
