| Introduction |
| Energy is one of the main applications of woody biomass and forest residues. Wood is the main source of energy for over 2 billion people and provides more than 14 percent of the world’s total energy (7). Demand for wood-based energy is even higher in developing countries where bio-energy is often the only readily available, accessible source of heat and fuels. To understand the importance of wood-based energy, one must examine the potential energy values of woody biomass, how these values compare to that of other energy sources, energy density, and the concept of net energy gain. |
